Hardwiring in the script is probably safest as you can still access 
custom properties and fields in a password-protected stack (although 
you can't read them casually in a text editor).

After cloning the stack and setting its name, something like this:

   if the password of stack "myNewStack" is empty then
     set the password of stack "myNewStack" to "bigsecret"
   end if

Then save the stack.
