10-# If you want to set a ftp password without a ftp:// you can to set a password
11-# in a FTP_PASSWORD
12-#FTP_PASSWORD="your_ftp_password"
13+# DESTINATION BACKEND PASSWORD
14+# Instead of setting the password needed for the backup destination in the
15+# DEST url, you can supply it in the FTP_PASSWORD variable below, which is
16+# used by most, if not all backends, regardless of it’s name.
17+# Duplicity's official documentation states:
18+#   "Supported by most backends which are password capable. More secure than
19+#    setting it in the backend url (which might be readable in the operating
20+#    systems process listing to other users on the same machine)."
