Passwords or certificates added to a service principal (not its app registration) let anyone holding them authenticate as the app. On a third-party app this is the classic persistent backdoor.
A scan reports where your tenant stands on this check — pass, fail with a step-by-step fix, or not applicable if your licensing doesn’t include the feature. When Tenant Strike can’t read a setting with read-only access, it says unverified and gives you a one-command way to confirm it yourself — it never guesses.
