The ability to share your credentials is just as important as holding them. You might want to share your credentials with current or future employers, government bodies, or your own social network.

Share to MS Authenticator
There is a difference between “verified” credentials and “verifiable” credentials and it’s an important distinction. Verifiable credentials are tamper-evident credentials that are machine-verifiable using secure communication technology, or cryptography, based on globally recognized standards. Blockchain technology is an example of cryptography that enables immutable and decentralized storage of tamper-evident logs, such as proofs of identity or verifiable credentials. Only Verifiable Credentials (VC) can be shared with MS Authenticator. These steps can only be performed on single credentials. To share more than one credential with MS Authenticator these steps must be performed on each credential.
- Click on the Credential to be shared. If it can be shared with Authenticator the option will be listed under the Share to LinkedIn option. Click Share to Authenticator.
- Scan the QR code with your phone or use the button to Open Microsoft Authenticator if you are already using your phone to perform these steps.
- Follow the prompts within Authenticator to claim the credential in the Verified ID’s section
Sharing Credentials via Email or Temporary Link
To share a single credential, perform these steps under the credential to be shared. To share multiple credentials at once, perform these steps under your profile. The following instructions are shown being performed under the user profile. The steps to share are the same for both scenarios.
- Within the Credivera Wallet, tap the menu icon in the top right corner. Within that menu, tap your name to access the profile-sharing features.
- Tap the Sharing tab and you will see the Create email button.
- Now select the credentials you wish to share, and enter the email address of the recipient(s). You can set a date for the information access to expire at the bottom. The information you send will become unreachable by the recipient(s) on that date. Tap Send email.
- The recipient(s) will receive an email with a URL that will display the information you shared.
Create and share a Temporary Link
- Below the Email section, you will find the Temporary link area.
- Tap Create link button. Select the credentials you wish to include in this link and select an expiry date (optional). Tap Create link.
- The shareable URL will now be listed under your Links. You can have multiple links available at any time with varying credentials exposed based on your requirements.
NOTE: Any link can have its access revoked at any time regardless of whether an expiry date is set or not.
