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.
