The concept is really, really good! I'm curious how they had all these providers let them change users' passwords though, most of them don't have any public APIs for that.

Won't you get targeted by anti-bot systems pretty quickly? Are you doing these changes on the user's computer or in the cloud?

Interesting. On your site it says its free. How is it monetized?

Can someone smarter than myself tell me how secure this is? If I was a hacker wouldn't i just hack Dashlane and have all the passwords?
