REFLECTIONS!!!!!!!!
Although a password storage program is good and easy to use there are a few causes of concerns, 2 of such causes are:

1.There is only one master password, therefore, people just have to know your master password and they will have access to all your accounts.

2.Drag and Drop function, especially for the password part, is it really safe just because it isn't typed out??
