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?

I don't know, I just think of a word and add/replace a few numbers and whatever I'm required to. Most places specify the minimum requirements ( character n., Numbers, uppercase, special characters etc). I rarely exceed the minimum requirements, though occasionally I do if it helps me remember the password. These days passwords keep getting longer and longer, most sites won't allow registration with anything less than 12 characters and lately I'm seeing some request 16. Backtrack a decade and you were set with something simple like "simpl3".
