> That single password is what's used both to retrieve the vault and to decrypt it.

Not sure how you mean that: if I used Keepass for example, which uses a file vault, and I told you that my master password was `p4ssw0rd`, how would that give you access to my vault and hence to any of my passwords?

Sorry, I had assumed you were referring to systems where the vault is distributed.
