Those who don't want a master password obviously are not interested in securing the file containing their passwords. Perhaps someone doesn't care if a spouse accesses secure sites using the family's passwords. Perhaps he or she has full confidence in a firewall and anti-spyware. Perhaps the password file doesn't contain the really important passwords. -- David E.
