Spectre: A password manager that doesn’t store passwords

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 am curious. Without going much into detail to compromise your passwords obviously.
But how do you come up with a good password, and how long are they typically for you?
I'm not the person you're replying to but I have a fun answer for how I did it before I moved to password managers.
I used to have just a single password, normal-ish password. Reasonable length, some numbers in there, random caps. But in order for me to have unique passwords on every site without losing track of all the passwords, I added the first and last letter of the name of the service at a specific point inside the password. My password was cryptic enough that if you would see it you wouldn't immediately notice it. But for me it meant I had a single strong password that was easy to remember and unique for every service.
I'm still kind of proud of that one, even though I don't use that method anymore.
I like that style.
I've only used the "standard" ! at the end of an password and maybe put a 3 for an e.
In hindsight terrible terrible idea, but then again that was a long time ago and in simpler times.
