If you forget the password, you won't be able to complete this enrollment – because the P12 password is needed to complete Step 4, Import P12 file.
If you lose the P12 password later, you won't have future access to the P12 file – for example, you won't be able to import your Osmio ID Pair to another browser or another device.
