#2I'd like to incorporate some kind of auto-login from an entry. But not sure how to make it easy for users to add their own login urls.

Ack! Thanks for the heads up.

#5What's the difference between your app and other password managers ( keepass, lastpass etc. ) ? Do you offer anything unique that others don't ?

Pros:
Browser based means no install. So works in more places.
Easy data import, export.
Transparent data treatment. View raw data stored for your account.
Two factor authentication - if enabled in your google account.
Better password strength indicator. Some don't even check against top 10k most common passwords.
Cheaper ;-)
Cons: Not native app means no Touch ID.
No nice browser plugin - like Dashlane.

#7You need to mention how you are saving the passwords, where you are storing them, what kind of encryption you are using and also is your code open sourced ?
These are the very first things that I would look for in a password storage mechanism. You cannot just expect people to trust you with their passwords.

Completely agree. Check the about page. Pretty decent detail there. I do plan to release source.

#9I would never pay money or store my passwords to a website with that domain, looks really really spammy and kind of "fake" (if that makes sense) when adding numbers to it.
The website itself looks very, how can I say this nicely, amateurish? Not sure who the target market is here.

Appengine forces you to add those numbers when creating the domain. I've purchased the prettygoodpasswords.com domain but having troubles getting that work with the ssl certificates.
I am just one guy, and I'm not a web designer. So yeah, that would be the amateur hour design you sense.
Well, target market would be people who want something fairly simple, transparent, and not overpriced.
Obviously needs more work. Thanks for the feedback.
