A password is required to protect each certificate’s private key. When backing up certificates, an encryption password may also be used. For security’s sake your passwords need to be strong.
A strong password:
Has eight or more characters.
Includes letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers.
Is different for each password. Don’t use any password more than once.
Avoids common password pitfalls, such as dictionary words in any language, words spelled backwards or that use common misspellings and abbreviations, sequences or repeated characters, personal information such as your birthday, driver’s license, passport number, etc.
This password information was adapted from information at microsoft.com, which provides a secure password checker you can use to test the strength of your passwords.
