What is Jetpack Security Daily?
Jetpack Security Daily has a lot of really neat features, such as Jetpack Backup, which allows you to restore your website with one click. Once Jetpack Security Daily is activated, it takes a backup of your website once every 24 hours. So, if something happens to your site that you aren’t happy with, you can always restore it to a previous point in time.

Jetpack may ask for SSH/SFTP credentials. Typically, no action is necessary.
If Jetpack is connected and has an active plan, these credentials will provision automatically. This usually occurs within 24 hours of activating a site’s Jetpack plan via the first backup and scan Jetpack performs. Once credentials are provisioned, notices to configure the credentials will be dismissed.
You may expedite this process by manually initiating a Jetpack scan. This will start a backup which will automatically provision the credentials. This can be done by visiting https://wordpress.com/scan/DOMAIN or https://cloud.jetpack.com/scan/DOMAIN and starting a new scan there.
