Hello,
I have a valid certificate that I imported into my .NET Core project, I imported it and Visual Studio is asking me to re-import the certificate or else it needs to be installed in a container. I have installed it but Visual Studio still sends me this warning. I looked for it but it didn't work. Unfortunately, I can't show a code snippet because I can't show any. However, it should work because you simply import it, it asks you for the password if there is one, and that's it! I can't make my certificate without a password according to Windows. I had also seen that when I was doing research, it had dialogs that asked for the certificate password but I never got it. I tried a method that brought in code to get the certificate installed but it didn't work.

2022-04-15T21:48:07.827+00:00 Hello @Jack J Jun , I import the certificate like this: I go to the project properties, scroll down and check the box "Sign the output assembly to give it a strong name". When it's checked, I click on "Browse..." and import my certificate in pfx format.

2022-04-17T14:36:28.277+00:00 @Jack J Jun , I have more informations that could be useful. I copied and pasted the certificate into the project folder but when I changed the path, it suddenly changed the container but then quickly reverted to the same container. I haven't tried if it works but I think if Visual Studio still can't import it into the application, the application won't be signed because when Visual Studio builds the application it will need the password to integrate it into the application so it can be signed.
