What is a Primary Shift Account?
Your Primary Shift Account is the email that's tied to your Shift account and is the main email you used to sign into Shift. The email you first use to sign in to Shift will automatically be set as your Primary. You can use any Gmail/GSuite (hosted by Google) or Outlook.com/Office 365 (hosted by Microsoft, non-exchange accounts) for your Primary.
The password you use to sign in to Shift is the exact same password you would use to log into your email. There is no separate password for your Shift account!
How to find out what your Primary Shift Account is
Your Primary Shift account will always have the words Primary Shift Account underneath it when you hover your mouse over it in your sidebar. Your Primary account is always the account at the top of your list:
How to change your Primary Shift Account

During the transfer process, your existing Shift setup will get deleted. If you need, you can export any passwords you saved in the Shift browser, along with any bookmarks you've added from your existing account:
