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?

    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.
