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?

    All these people exchanging opinions and information about password manager options and me… Funmbling with the paper booklet I’ve been using to track my passwords for the last decade

      I am curious. Without going much into detail to compromise your passwords obviously.

      But how do you come up with a good password, and how long are they typically for you?

        I’m not the person you’re replying to but I have a fun answer for how I did it before I moved to password managers.

        I used to have just a single password, normal-ish password. Reasonable length, some numbers in there, random caps. But in order for me to have unique passwords on every site without losing track of all the passwords, I added the first and last letter of the name of the service at a specific point inside the password. My password was cryptic enough that if you would see it you wouldn’t immediately notice it. But for me it meant I had a single strong password that was easy to remember and unique for every service.

        I’m still kind of proud of that one, even though I don’t use that method anymore.
