🚀 v0.2.0-beta.1 After years following the passwordless movement—it’s meaningful to finally say: @WebBadge now supports passkeys 🙌 Grateful how @FIDOAlliance, WebAuthn (W3C), and passkey standards have matured—making it possible to build this without compromising usability 👏

We already understand concepts like badges of honor and merit badges. A #BadgeOfRecommendation is similar in that it reflects trust and recognition, but it's specifically a recommendation from another person that can travel with the recipient. #BOR #LOR #LetterOfRecommendation 📜

As AI helps people discover opportunities, trusted and verifiable signals become increasingly important. The better trust travels, the more likely we'll recognize and connect talent to where they can thrive. Every verifiable badge tells a story. Let your verified stories do more.
🎬 Every badge tells a story. The skills you've learned. The goals you've reached. The trust you've earned. From school to work and through life, achievements help shape who we are. Join the WebBadge beta. Every verifiable badge tells a story. Let your verified stories do more.

Confidence often starts with a small achievement. A skill learned. A goal reached. A moment of progress recognized. If you're exploring education, trust, credentials, privacy, or AI, I'd love to exchange perspectives on how recognition can help people carry confidence forward.

The future may not be "one database to rule them all." It may be a network of people, organizations, communities, services, AI agents, and data sources connected through trust and interoperability. @WebAthensHQ Digital Agora for an interoperable future. WebAthens.com

Whether it's work experience, certifications, achievements, or contributions, the trust you've earned should be able to travel with you. If you're exploring trust, credentials, privacy, or AI agents, I'd love to exchange perspectives on how verifiable badges strengthen trust.

Your trust should travel with you. That's one of the ideas behind WebBadge and this new video. I've been exploring digital trust since 2015, and that journey continues to shape what WebBadge is building today. We're still in beta. I'd love to hear your feedback if this resonates.

A business owner wanted my personal and payment information. But they couldn't prove who they were. That experience eventually led me to start @WebBadge. 🎥 Here's the 22-second story of why I started working to make it easier to prove what's real online. 👇 #FounderStory

⚠️Too often, people are asked to trust before they can verify. Before you click, scan, reply, share, or send money: ⏸️ Pause. Evaluate. Understand. Building trust starts with building understanding. 🔎 Check out #ScamsAwarenessWeek #Take9 #WebBadgeTrustBuilders #DigitalTrust

🦸#ComicCon reminds us that heroes come in many forms. 🆔 #IdentityDay reminds us that people do too. One person. Many strengths. Many shadows. Without trust, they're just shadows. With trust, they're trusted shadows. Only the right shadow for the right moment. @ID4Africa

Last May, after 9 years of data authenticity work, I shared the #WebFlywheel⚙️ — a framework for how trust, data authenticity, and value reinforce each other across the web. A decade of the @WebBadge mission, the idea still holds: “trust creates value, and value creates trust.”
For yesterday’s anniversary of the Web, I’m sharing a high-level #WebFlywheel⚙️ that illustrates how we think, partner, and innovate—helping to grow the Web’s value and drive its evolution to serve users and businesses with more secure and trustworthy products, services and data.

Accessibility is foundational to trust on the web. Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) ♿, and I took a small step: publishing an accessibility statement and adding an accessibility badge to the @WebBadge site. webbadge.com/accessibility.h… #GAAD #a11y #Accessibility
