</strow>
<strow>
<stentry><uicontrol>Confirm Password</uicontrol></stentry>
<stentry>Enter the keystore password again, to confirm that what you entered is what you intended.</stentry>

<stentry><uicontrol>Save this password</uicontrol></stentry>
<stentry>Select this option if you want MOTODEV Studio to automatically supply the password when you add keys
to this keystore or delete keys within this keystore. Leave this option unselected if you want MOTODEV
Studio to prompt for the password for each operation.</stentry>
