why?

could this be accomplished in the UI that sets the password? or in a message 
that appears in-line when Private is selected? in documentation?

(i ask because i'm not sure i understand why this needs to be communicated in 
the label for the toggle switch, and i do think it makes the dialog overly 
verbose ... )

my concern is that this takes too much time to set up an activity and that it 
also would deviate from the "configure activity" UI.
