What if you rely on the service to know all your password and you only know your key to the service .. and then somebody manages to take over your account (getting access to your mail address) and to delete all your data?

That would be not as bad as him knowing your passwords, but still inconvenient.

This might sound stupid, but the most straightforward solution I can think of is to back up the passwords locally every now and then.

Some background: I wrote this to scratch my own itch. I have really secure passwords, and different ones for every site I use. I keep those in a Truecrypt container, which is stored on my Dropbox.

That's secure, but it's not convenient. I simply can't securely access my passwords while on the road, e.g. from a friends computer or from my iPhone. I would always have to install Truecrypt and get the image file from Dropbox etc.

I wanted something with a true zero setup. I can still back up the passwords to my Dropbox Truecrypt image once per week.
