Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The export might contain some sensitive data. I don't want that data to be on disc without encryption.
Describe the solution you'd like
When creating an export, I would like an option to encrypt the generated export file with a custom password. The password should be asked when requesting the export. On import, that should automatically be detected and I would like to be asked for the password.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing export and import flows in the JavaScript app; the issue names no files or tests. Define how password prompting, encrypted-file detection, and password failures should behave, then verify the complete export and import flow against the requested custom-password behavior.
