Question: how does sync work with separate master password #31

I've set up the owncloud passwords extension with a separate master encryption password. When i run the the firefox add-on (where I cannot enter this second token), sync still works and new logins show up in the owncloud app. How does this work? Can it also retrieve logins or just push them?

The master password is not part of the en-/decryption process, it is only used to restrict access to the GUI. It has no influence on the API calls and therefore does not concern the firefox add-on.
