<hr>
<p><strong>No</strong>. One device using the Master Password feature isn't going to touch the Logins on any other devices. Each device operates independently of all other devices, unless you have all 3 running Sync.

<hr>
<p>As far as Sync goes, <em>if you are even using Sync</em>, you can't synchronize Logins data on three devices unless they are all using the Master Password feature. <strong>Or</strong> they all aren't using a Master Password.
</p><p>The Master Password feature will only Sync "like devices" as far as Logins data is concerned. All other data classes, <em>as set in Options /Preferences per device</em> will Sync, though. IOW, Bookmarks, Synced Tabs, History,, etc will, get synchronized regardless of the Master Password feature being used, or not.

Resetting your master password will remove all of
your saved usernames and passwords.
This is a security feature.
</p>
<hr>
<p>In the event that the passwords information is lost, you
should record all information in a separate text file
somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down.
You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If
you are concerned about someone else looking
at that file, you can compress it using a password.
