Seeing that:
- intrigeri is the main developer of the persistence wizard and didn't
offer himself to add this feature
- it needs to come along with a warning regarding Maxim's concern.
I also think documentation is the way for it and created a ticket for
that, see /todo/document_how_to_change_the_persistence_password.
