There is a cautionary tail here.
How does a company or individual keep passwords and account info
in a way that keeps value from being lost?

Bitcoin, email, financial records, legal liability, litigation, criminal
investigation, travel.
Consider a legal or financial firm involved in an investigation that has
encrypted data.
How is it discoverable as being in or out of scope and thus opened or not
opened (perhaps in secret).
A bitcoin wallet is a lot like bearer bonds or cash.

And a PasswdVault that falls to any common attack has flaws.   Also the
version bit is a murky
pile of pooh.  Does Norton build back compatibility to all versions in the
current version?
Then there is this, abandoned product support.
