People do this? First I've ever heard of it. In fact most of the software I've ever used doesn't even support PKI passwords and instead will just tell you the certificate store is corrupted.

I think by "certificate passwords" the poster was referring to the private key associated with the TLS certificate and not the certificate itself.
