Welcome to "Micro-credentials in a Minute," produced by Micro-credential Multiverse.

In this episode, micro-credential and digital badge experts Rob Bajor and Allison Fromm (Proofspace.id) discuss how decentralized identifiers (DIDs) enhance security online. They explain that while real-world identifiers like fingerprints and signatures are unique to individuals, online accounts rely on third parties like Google and Amazon for ownership and control. Meanwhile, companies can monitor and use our data while we're forced to remember hundreds of passwords. DIDs, on the other hand, allow us to create the digital equivalent of our unique fingerprint, which is entirely private and belongs only to us. By managing our online identity with a DID, we can regain control of our digital identities and democratize the space.

Tune in to learn more about the power of DIDs in enhancing online security.
