Maybe the point is that you do not need to store the database securely, that you can store it openly, as long as the certificate used to generate the passwords is kept secret.

But you probably want to keep the meta info of what sites you have access to secret to.

So I don't know why this is better than simply use the certificate to encrypt the database.

But maybe I did not understand how it works.
