Although this seems cool, there are at least two downsides:

1. You have to copy/type the password manually, instead of relying on your password manager to recognize the website, leaving you more vulnerable to phishing.

2. More manual entry... I a world where I use passwords around a hundred times per day, I don't want to type them.

Also, it's easy to avoid the two risks he mentions:

1. Don't write your master password on a post-it, duh.

2. Don't leave your session open when getting a coffee.

I'll stick with the standard practice.
