I'm not sure what to do about this; it seems like a good idea but a major security risk:
http://www.watchlistr.com/ is a site that creates aggregate watchlists across multiple projects. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bounty_board#Transwiki_w...
The user who made it has very little editing history, and the site aggregates watchlists across multiple projects, but requires inputting your Wikimedia password into the watchlistr.com site. I have no specific reason to think it's a scam, but if I was trying to phish passwords I would do something like this.
