Well, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is I want to use your service. If it works the way it looks like it works, I'd pay you to use it. I'm guessing a lot of other people will think the same thing. That's huge!
The bad news is that "bank-level" encryption and assertions of good intentions are not sufficient for me to give you my Google password. My Google password is one of two that is not recorded anywhere. The second is for the vault that contains my other 575 passwords. I almost edited my original post to be less melodramatic, but on reflection I think it's right. For a cool grand, I would spend the time to completely separate the associated accounts (analytics, webmaster, docs, calendar, talk, voice) and any password reminders that forward into my gmail now into a separate account. Short of that, I just can't do it. I'm selfishly hopeful that Google gives you a way in without needing to store my password.
I'm hopeful google borrows a few ideas for their next features. Sorry, I'm not giving anyone my password. Next time release it as a firefox plugin, or something client-side.

indeed I'd say my google account needs more inventive protection than my bank detail. The chance of misuse is a lot higher.
