This system is not foolproof.  Even if a master password is fantastic,
people end up reusing this password; and that's where the problem begins.
Instead of depending only upon a master, at the very least, there should
be some kind of salt or key file which will mix things up a bit.  (Keepass
allows a key file, and I always use this feature; of course, you need to
keep the key file hidden, which is a bit of a pain.)

Also, you'll want to use a memory-hard PBKDF which is immune to GPU
attacks; these algorithms don't seem to use these.
