Create a password for restoring or migrating your backups 

This is the required password for running the ImportBuddy import/migration script. This password prevents unauthorized access when using this tool. We strongly recommend using a password different from your WordPress login password. This password can also be configured in the General section of the Solid Backups General Settings page.
