Certificate

I think it should be fine to use the certificate which is linked in the README (see https://github.com/devartis/passbook#note-getting-wwdr-certificate).

Password

You protect the private key with a password in step 3 of the Getting Started section in the README (see https://github.com/devartis/passbook#getting-started). You need to use that password when creating the pkpass file.

Well, I already do it but apple says this https://developer.apple.com/support/expiration/ there are two certifiers one for 2023 and another for 2030. Because right now I can't open the wallet pkpass file.

Software signing certificates

The Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Intermediate Certificate has a version that’s set to expire on February 7, 2023 and a renewed version that’s set to expire on February 20, 2030. The renewed version is used to sign new software signing certificates issued after January 28, 2021. Remaining service certificates will be updated on January 27, 2022. See the Apple Push Notification Service SSL Certificates section for details.

From my understanding using the newer (longer) one makes sense as it won't stop working in a year.
