What is Microsoft Entra Verified ID?

microsoft entra ID is a seamless and decentralized identity solution that empowers you to issue and verify workplace credentials and any other unique identity attribute. Formerly named Azure AD Verifiable Credentials, now part of the Microsoft Entra family, those who have used the service before will still be familiar with Microsoft Entra Verified ID.

Microsoft Entra Verified ID can be accessed through the new Microsoft Entra Dashboard which I have linked at the beginning of this post. On the left-hand side, you will find the Verified ID tab which is where you should start.

How to setup Microsoft Entra Verified ID?

Setting up the new Verified ID service is as easy as a couple of clicks. 

Open entra.microsoft and click on the Verified ID tab from the left-hand menu.

Select Overview

Enter your organisation’s name and custom domain (be sure to take note of the information you see on the screen regarding the domain). 

Select or create your Azure Key Vault. This will be used to store the keys to sign the credentials.
