Sounds pretty secure to me ;\)

I've done a bit of reading, and the encryption technique uses a public/private key pair, so I'm not sure why you think that a password change would be an issue (other than the user losing his key pair).

You can also designate a recovery agent, who will always be able to recover the data.
