- Impossible To Lose
-Master Password is different: it is based on an ingenious password generation algorithm that guarantees your passwords can never be lost.
-While password managers generally save your passwords in an encrypted vault or upload them to the cloud for safe-keeping, they make you dependant on syncing, backups or Internet access.
-Master Password has none of these downsides. Its passwords aren't stored: they are generated on-demand from your name, the site and your master password; even on a brand-new iPhone.

- Security Without Worries
-Coming up with good passwords is hard. Remembering them, even harder. Passwords deter and distract us from what we really want to do.
-Master Password gives you secure passwords to use, and the assurances that you cannot lose them. Now you can stop worrying about how to make your new account secure, forget about passwords, and get on with what you wanted to get done in the first place.
-Moreover, unlike other password solutions, your passwords are ubiquitous and always available from anywhere but also never leave your device. They are not saved in the cloud or a vault, which means there's no risk of government tracking or trusting cloud providers. +
Nothing To Intercept
+Master Password is based on a stateless algorithm which frees it from the reliance on storage of secrets.
+Since your generated passwords aren't saved to your device, there is no risk you'll be forced to divulge them to aggressive peers. And since these passwords don't need to be backed up or synchronized between devices over the network, there is no risk of them getting intercepted.
+Finally, Master Password is free software (GPLv3), its algorithm extensively documented and does not require you to trust any external party. This is particularly interesting in a society where things like PRISM and gag orders are a real threat.
Syncs Seamlessly
-Contrary to other password solutions, Master Password doesn't need to send your passwords over the network to make them ubiquitously available.
-Master Password does however integrate iCloud, allowing you to keep the site names you've used in-sync across your devices.
+Contrary to other password solutions, Master Password doesn't need to send your passwords over the network to make them ubiquitously available. Just add your user and site names to each of your devices and your passwords will be available instantly.
+Master Password also integrates iCloud, allowing you to keep the site accounts you've used in-sync across your devices. This is a convenience which makes your passwords available even faster. Generated passwords are never sent over the wire.
This gives you all the conveniences of sync with none of the reliability downsides.
+A version of Master Password for Mac OS X is currently in beta, a Java API exists along with a Java-based CLI tool. A C API and CLI tool will soon become available. An Android version is on the roadmap. We're also happy for any contributions from developers.
Master Password comes with a variety of built-in password types. These types make your site's password look different, become more secure or more compatible with a site's password policy.
The default password is a great balance between security, compatibility and convenience. It is designed to provide great entropy (security) whilst still being easy to manually enter or remember if needed.
You can generate a more secure password, or switch it to a PIN type to use for your bank card or cell phone's SIM lock.
+Master Password also implements a hybrid solution allowing you to save custom passwords in the app. These passwords are AES encrypted using a large 64-byte key derived from your master password. This grants people who are forced to use a certain password (eg. by their systems administrators) a maximally secure solution given their situational constraints.
