So what's it like when NBox goes under and you can't recover your password on any of your sites?

Hi midnitewarrior, here is a post where I try to answer that (valid) concern: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nbox/comments/483328

Yes, that is your intention, but when funding gets pulled, investors rarely like spending more money on letting things "unwind", they have not company or brand to protect, so consumers' concerns take a back seat to investors.

The other problem with this is that there is now a middle man in my security chain. If you get hacked, potentially all of my accounts can be hacked. If you have a rogue employee, same thing. If you have a flaw in your security, I too am at risk from a centralized source.
