Personas

A persona is defined as an individual's social facade that reflects the role in life the individual is playing. How you're known to your family is different from your work and different with your gaming or investing buddies.

ID Pocket allows you to create multiple personas, each with its own set of identifiers. You can define one persona as the primary persona. When you then create a new connection, the display name of the primary persona is used in the connection invitation.

Personas are used when a signature request or Verifiable Presentation request allows for this option.

Adding/Editing Personas

Press the "+" button to add a new persona. To edit an existing persona, swipe left on the persona name then press the edit icon.

When you add or edit a persona, you can add email addresses, phone numbers and profile photos, then attach them to a persona.

Verifying an email address or phone number

When you edit a persona, you can press the icon next to the email or phone field name to see a list of emails of phone numbers. An icon indicates that the item has been verified. The verification process sends a verification code to theat email or phone that you then enter into the app. This creates a Verifiable Credential for that item that you can use in other processes. To begin the verification process, swipe left on an email or phone number and press the verify icon.
