Save it and the password you chose in a password manager. You can later log in to clients by pasting the ncryptsec and password. If you want to be extra careful, store the ncryptsec and password separately. The reason to encrypt it is that it keeps your nsec secure when it's in your clipboard or stored in unsecure setrings (like when sending it to yourself via email or text message).

Correct, the ncryptsec should be entered into a signer app like Amber or nsec.app, rather than directly into clients (which should just not hold keys). This is a lift for newcomers for sure, but it's an important pattern to push for security.
