REQUEST: Manage database password inside the GUI

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

What backend (destination) are you using?

Please provide any additional information below.

This would be a nice addition to Duplicati for those users who are concerned 
about security, but not comfortable working in Windows Command mode.

Yes, that would be nice.
I'm not sure where to store the password though.

If the user has sufficient permissions, the system environment variables could 
be modified.

Based on your explanation in Issue #454, I understand the how it would be 
practically impossible to modify the database password from the UI (decrypt, 
close duplicati, set variable, re-start duplicati).

Perhaps another approach could be to build a small (1-2 screen)routine into the 
Installer process. Before duplicati opens for the 1st time, the user is 
presented with 3 options:

(1) Accept default database password
(2) Create a customized password
(3) Unencrypted database 

Just a thought ...
