Say I compromised a website that was storing passwords in the clear. There should be no way whatsoever for you to know I've done this, or even that I've -used- this password. What, if any advantage would you have over a password manager storing single-use passwords? A very good web implementation of this, with client-side encryption so that the service has no access to your actual passwords, is clipperz.com. Do you believe you can offer me something better? As someone who spends a lot of time studying security, I think you've made some extraordinary claims..

Sure, if the site is compromised than nothing you could know. But this is kind of unlikely in case of major players like banks.

Zero knowledge web app - is nice theoretical approach but I don't see a way it will be adopted anytime soon.

As to mine claims, I will post application when it will be ready, and we could discuss attacks against of it. It will be quite different from clipperz etc.
