This password cannot be recovered if it is lost. You can configure the app to remember the password for as long as it is running, or only for a select period of time. This password is used to encrypt all secret information, and it is recommended to select a strong one here. The first time you run TextSecure you are asked to create a password. If you are in the same physical location, you can use QR code scanning to speed up the verification process. Just select Secure Session Options > Verify Recipient Identity to do so. It is furthermore possible to verify keys while you are in a secure conversation. Here you can also distinguish easily between secure messages that you have sent - padlock icon again - and regular messages that show a message icon instead. Secure messages are indicated by a padlock icon in the conversation window.
