Share my Credentials? (Desktop)

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.

1. 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. Step
   
2. 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.
   
3. 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 performed under the user profile. The steps to share are the same for both scenarios.

1. Within the Credivera Wallet, click/tap your name from the left menu.
   
2. Click/Tap the Sharing tab and you will see the Create email button.
   
3. Now select the credentials you wish to share, whether or not to include attachments, and enter the email address of the recipient(s). You can set a date for the access to expire at the bottom. The information you send will become unreachable by the recipient(s) on that date. Click Send email.
   
4. The recipient will get an email with a URL that will display the information you selected to share.

Create and share a Temporary Link

1. Below the Email section, you will find the Temporary link area. Click the Create link button.
   
2. Select the credentials you wish to include, whether or not to include the attachments, and select an expiry date (optional). Click Create link.
   
3. The URL you can share will be listed under your LINKS. You can have multiple LINKS available at any time with varying credentials exposed based on your requirements. Any link can have its access revoked at any time regardless of whether an expiry date is set or not.
