I cannot assert how useful that tool is, and as I said, I will not use it myself because that requires giving passwords to a site that I have no idea what they will do with it. But if you trust the site, then it seems useful enough, indeed - though you are right to question how useful it really is, since it is essentially asking you for passwords and that gives the site owner the ability to build a brute force database or something else equally nefarious.
