Hello! Yes you should be able to store and share certificates using the encrypted description field.

When you create a new password there is the section for a Description at the bottom. This is by default encrypted and makes a good place for storing certificates. You’ll want to make sure the lock symbol is closed as if it is open then it won’t be encrypted

If I understand correctly, the integration of a file in the password creation part is still not planned?

Although I understand your workaround, which partly responds to the request:

Being able to attach a file remains simpler than taking its content and copying it into a text field… ☹

Yes file attachment is on our roadmap. I’m hopeful we can tackle this this year. [As a user I can create resources with encrypted file attachement](https://community.passbolt.com/t/as-a-user-i-can-create-resources-with-encrypted-file-attachement/74)

You can also add a note once the resource is created.
