Password entry

During a signing operation you will be prompted to enter the password for your signing certificate.

Note: This does not apply to certificates accessed through the Microsoft CAPI certificates store, including smart card certificates or if password caching has been enabled. In this case the password dialogue will appear differently or may not appear at all, and the rules governing password content rules or password attempts may be different.

  1. Enter your password in the field provided.
    Ensure the password meets the content rules below.

  2. Click OK.
    Note: If you enter the incorrect password 3 times the signing operation will be cancelled.

When adding a certificate to the CSI certificate store or changing the password of a certificate, the password must comply with the following content rules:

  • The password must be at least 8 characters in length.

  • The password must contain at least one uppercase character.

  • The password must contain at least one non-alphabetic character.
