I'm just wondering, how does this work between Mac and IOS devices alike? I was thinking about using it but was worried about passwords being for lack of a better term, "discoverable." Guess I'm the paranoid type. lol Seriously though, I'd like to give this feature of iCloud the benefit of a doubt so if you could do your best to describe maybe how you use it and from that, I can see if its going to be of any use to me. Finally, you mentioned the data being "encrypted." I've heard of this term in the past but what does it actually mean in simple english.
