User certificate

User certificate proves the user’s identity during operation of the systems. It is used along with the Gdańsk Tech root certificate and remains valid for twelve months from the date of generation.

Ten days before the expiry date of the current certificate, you can create a new user certificate. A new certificate can be generated even after the last valid certificate expires. Personal user certificate is secured by valid access password to the Moja PG system. If the validity of the Moja PG password expires, before generating a new personal user certificate, we recommend that you change your password to a new one.

Any information about password expiry date is displayed on Moja PG after logging in the upper right corner of the screen.
