Password managers are not without security flaws, as seen in a recent high-profile breach. The database storing all the user's passwords is a very attractive target for hackers. Spectre is a new password manager that aims to solve this problem by using a unique password generation and management approach.

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?

    This is extremely impractical for daily password use. Not being able to ever change your master or the passwords to your sites is a deal-breaker for the security minded who wouldn’t even want the risk of an encrypted password wallet.

    It’s an interesting idea, but in the end it’s flawed.
