How can I Create an Accredible Account?

Via One Click Link

1. If you have accessed your credential via a One-Click link (in your issuing email), you will see a prompt at the top of your credential asking you to set a new password for your account. 

2. Once your new password is set, you will be able to sign into your credential at any time using this password and the email address your credential is associated with. 

Via the Sign In Button

1. If you are on the public view of a credential, and not currently signed in, you can click the 'Sign in' button at the top-right-hand corner of your credential or wallet view.

2. On the 'Sign in' page, click 'Forgot password?'

3. Using the 'Forgot password' function and the email address your credential is associated with, set yourself a new password for your Credential Wallet. You will receive a security email from Accredible confirming your new password and allowing you to sign in to your Credential Wallet

4. Once you have successfully signed in, you will be able to access all private features, including downloading a PDF of your digital certificate.
