It sounds like a cool concept, but I can’t see anyone migrating to this service since there is no logical way to import your current passwords.

Am I missing something?

if my securely generated password to example.com gets leaked in a data breach, my only options are to ignore the leak or regenerate all my passwords with a new master password?

i don’t think this works for me

Calling this “manager” seems a bit of a stretch. What exactly does it manage? It only seems to derive passwords. Unless I have a database I can search in (and get convenience shit like the information how old or weak existing passwords are or maybe even which sites have been compromised in the meantime), I would not call it a manager.

I would absolutely migrate to this if there were a good android app for it. The one that exists doesn’t seem to have support for android’s password autofill system though

Have been using a manual method of consistently generating passwords for a while now so given good app/browser extensions it’s a direct upgrade

@imaginary doesn’t seem to be that much of a novel concept. I was interested into such a password manager that generates your paswords each time you access it instead of storing them. Indeed, for some (probably security related) reason you have to change your passwords to every service you use
