Remarks

The password for the certificate's private key (if any).

Some certificate stores may individually protect certificates' private keys, separate from the standard protection offered by the CertStorePassword. CertKeyPassword. This can be used to read such password-protected private keys.

Note: this property defaults to the value of CertStorePassword. To clear it, you must set the property to the empty string (""). It can be set at any time, but must be set before calling CertPrivateKey when the private key's password is different from the store's.
