As indicated in the dialog that is displayed when you check the encryption checkbox, the purpose is to encrypt indices that you use on iOS using FoxTrot Attaché (especially if you synchronize them using Google Drive or an external web server).
The index file is actually encrypted on your Mac, but the but the encryption password is currently remembered on macOS; so you only need it on iOS, or if move your index file to another Mac.
