"Ok, I have been using some (password manager) tool for a long time and I actually trust it! But what will happen if it will outage or the team decides to no longer maintain the project?"

That's really possible to happen. So that's the challenge.
Sometimes it's too difficult to trust your passwords to anyone else.
And of course, this one is also prone to cyber attacks. We can't say that it's not.
This is an interesting challenge. Looking forward to how the team addresses this challenge

Do you imply some Ethereum-level vulnerabilities or private encryption flaws when talking about potential cyber attacks?

Etherpass provides several methods to retrieve stored data regardless of service availability:
1) Etherpass has an "offline" mode, which uses special software addons to emulate Etherpass server on a user's personal machine, which has same capabilities as a remote one.
2) Advanced users can retrieve their data from own or a public Ethereum node with all the encryption metadata.

Maybe a good project ...

... but I do not trust passwort managers generally till now ...  Grin

The core idea of Etherpass is not to reinvent a password storage as an utility concept. We are focusing on innovating the way resilience, scale and reliability are implemented within such services.
Also you should definitely try to use a password manager - it's a huge productivity boost and sometimes a life saver! Smiley

I use Trezor's pass manager, it's not really well-made and lacks functionality, but at least I do not need to generate and store master passwords.

Hope your project will go live, we all lack good pass managers on the blockchain.
