Adding or removing recovery point passwords

For each backup policy or Independent Backup task that you create, you can optionally assign a password to the resulting recovery point for added security. Over time, the number of different passwords that you use can accumulate. This situation can make it difficult to remember which password to use for a given task. For example, with a Convert to Virtual task you use multiple recovery points that may each have different passwords assigned to them. In such cases, you can use the password store to add all potential passwords that you have used.

Any password that you assign to a backup policy or an Independent Backup task is also added to the password store.
