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?

    If one password is leaked, it should let you change the key for just that one service. Eventually, you could have a bunch of different keys for different service. But then you will need some manager for remembering all those different secrets. Yay!

    I see they have a counter that maybe you can set? Then I guess you just need a manager to store the counters, which seems fundamentally the same
