I think we have to differenciate between two levels: - The ability to *securely* store passwords (with a master password or a key provided by the system's key manager) - The ability to securely *store passwords in the system's key manager*, where all my passwords live.
I favor the second option. I'm not concerned about moving passwords between different systems (that should happen rarely). And if I happen to use multiple devices: That's what Sync is for. I am concerned about storing my passwords in a way that I trust: my system's key ring (storing keys is it's only purpose and I think it should be good at it). Of course the thoughts in the link posted above[1] are also good ones.
