The SAP Passport is a single sign-on (SSO) Internet certificate.
It saves you time (you do not have to remember and type in your password) and it is a requirement to gain access to certain areas of the SAP portals (e.g. MMPor the PEC) or carry out certain functions (e.g. software download). This is why this is the first step you should take once you get your new S-User ID.
However, passport is valid for 12 months only for security reasons so you will need to remove any expired certificates from your PC and install a new one after the 12 month period to continue to avail of this SSO certificate on our portals.
