How to export and import your All in One WP Security settings

All in One WP Security allows you to export and import the security settings. This can be handy if you wanted to save time by applying the settings from one site to another site.

NOTE: Before importing, it is your responsibility to know what settings you are trying to import. Importing settings blindly can cause you to be locked out of your site.
For Example: If a settings item relies on the domain URL then it may not work correctly when imported into a site with a different domain.
