Until that lovely site goes offline and you, nor anyone else, knows any of your passwords. Not for me.



With passwordmaker pro, the passwords are not really 'stored' anywyere. It just computes a hash using the '___domain name' a Master Password and some other predefined stuff. So, it's not dependent on any site. So, it uses a different password for each ___domain (because the ___domain is an input to the hash). This way, even if a site you are using is compromised, and the passwords leaked, the effect is local to that site.
