Marshmallow encryption - set/change encryption password, desktop password

My Nexus 5 came with Encrypt phone = Encrypted.

I set a Screen lock PIN as part of the setup. Is that now the Encryption password? If not, where do I set the Encryption password, and how?

Also my Helium backup app is asking for a "desktop password" but it doesn't seem to be accepting the Screen lock PIN and that's all I've set. Any idea where/how I'd set/change the "desktop password" and what that is?

TIA - R.
