to create a new password for the key package.
If you select this option, you will be prompted to provide the new password when
you click OK on the Export Keys dialog box. You will subsequently be prompted
for this password when you try to import a key from this package. In addition, all
keys imported from this package will use this new password rather than the
password originally associated with each key.
If you clear this option, this package will use the same password as the first selected
key (which appears in the Password for All Keys in Package area), and you
must provide this password when you try to import a key from this package. You
must also provide this password when you subsequently change, delete, or export
any key imported from this package.
