Okay okay, so no instant apply. But can we still open the password setting dialog directly after switching (without doing the actual encryption/moving of resources yet)? This would imo still be better than setting it after closing the main dialog (for various reasons stated earlier).

note that "tap outside" for save borders on "voodoo magic" UI as there is no
clear communication to the user that "yes, this really is happening". watching
people use the UI, almost nobody attempts apply-by-outside-tap, and only one
person so far has tried to use drag-to-apply in the add-to-activity screen
(another topic for another thread though)

I never suggested "tap outside to apply", that would be stupid ;) If instant apply is not possible we need a Save button, that much is for sure. And where there is a save button, even a cancel button would make sense to accompany it (the label still needs to be changed, as "close" does not necessarily imply "cancel"). Either all or nothing, anything in between is more confusing than helping.

Currently there is no way to change the password except for switching
private off and on again and it does not ask the password every time it is
saved.

ok, so this could use some improvement. i do have some ideas there, but we can
discuss this later.

Looking forward to reading them ;)
