This is probably a typo, but it's missing the "to".

I'm not sure I followed all that, but the rules are: a password applies 
only to the stack it has been assigned to. If one stack disallows 
editing and another doesn't, then a password has not been assigned to 
the second one. Even substacks can have different passwords than their 
mainstacks, or no password at all.

You don't need to set the passkey to have the launcher open another 
stack. Passwords prevent script editing and the ability to view the 
stack in a text editor, but they don't affect any other functionality.
