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?

There are some things I'm missing.

What if I need or want a certain passwod length? Because a site only allows X or I want to have Y amount of signs.

What about the control over special characters in the password or not. Sometimes I need to generate passwords without any special character.

Where is the 2FA aspect? Sure there is no datavse with my passwords. But at least my DB is secured with username + password + 2FA Code

I still need to trust a website or app where I put my credentials in. Or is it 100% offline? Like I am with KeePass and/or selfhosted Bitwarden at home.

How do I change passwords without the need of keeping track of website name changes?

And just as a note, things like Bitwarden or KeePass are much more than only a password generator.

Extra note: we are heading towards a passwordless future with passkey etc. anyway.
