They also don't know your master password, so they can't tell you what it is if you lose or forget it.


That is true of all competent authentication schemes. The encryption is (in theory) a 1-way function, easy to compute in one direction, almost impossible to compute the reverse. They store the encrypted password only. When you enter your password, it is run through the encryption algorithm and compared to the stored encrypted password.
