🚀 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 👏
ALT Screenshot of WebBadge Log-in page showing support for PASSKEY SIGN-IN with a “Sign in with Passkey” button.
ALT Screenshot of the “Manage your passkeys” page displaying a list of passkey credentials for Leo 🐶.
The table includes columns for Active (Checked/Unchecked), User WIN, Member Name, Device, Label, Created, Last Used, and Action (Edit and Delete). The list spans multiple device types, including laptops, phones, and hardware security keys.
Examples include Windows Hello and MacBook Touch ID for laptop-based passkeys, iPhone and Android devices for mobile passkeys, and hardware keys such as a YubiKey, a backup YubiKey, and a Titan Security Key.
Most entries are marked Active, with one entry set to Inactive. Some passkeys show a recent date and time of use, while others display “Never,” indicating they have not yet been used.
The layout demonstrates multi-device support, platform authenticators, and backup strategies for secure account access.
🚀 #ContentCredentials now live in @WebBadge 🙏
Bringing @C2PA_org into the identity trust layer:
🔎 Inspect credentials
☑️ Verify independently (e.g., @Adobe tools)
🔀 Trust signals adapt across relationships
Turning trust from assumed → verifiable, with 🖼️✅ @ContentAuth 👏

Against a dark purple background, four business profile cards are displayed side-by-side with yellow borders, including "The Moon Corporation," "Space Donuts Fundraiser," and Leo's "Professional Good-Boy Services." The third card has an opened Content Credentials digital Nutrition Label popup showing provenance data: identity of Mitchell Nguyen, actions of opened and watermarked, and signed by Adobe Inc. The footer features the brand text "Born in Carlsbad–San Diego, California. Building verifiable trust for the world."

The interface features a dark purple background with a circular profile picture of a light brown dog. Overlapping the picture is an open digital Nutrition Label for Content Credentials detailing the image's asset provenance: signed by Adobe Inc. on June 5, 2026, with actions indicating it was opened and watermarked. The footer displays the text "Born in Carlsbad–San Diego, California. Building verifiable trust for the world." alongside regional trust badges.

The center panel displays a verified photograph of a light brown poodle-mix dog looking forward and panting happily in a car seat. The left and right sidebars display embedded C2PA metadata, including contributor details for Mitchell Nguyen, actions like watermarking, and recording confirmation by Adobe Inc.
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.

ALT A screenshot of the WebBadge registration page showing a sign‑up form for creating a WebBadge account. The interface includes radio buttons to select an account context, with “Person/Pet” selected and “Entity” as an alternative option. The page displays scrolling mission text stating “We’re on a mission to connect trustworthy things online to make the web safer, easier, and more accessible for everyone,” a flyby message reading “There’s a badge for that,” and form fields for first name, optional last name, email address, password, and optional birthdate. The form also includes an optional set of radio buttons labeled Female, Male, Non‑binary, and Not specified, along with a reCAPTCHA and a button to create a WebBadge account.
ALT A simple black‑and‑white cartoon meme. At the top, the text reads: “In the wild, no one knows what your QR resolves to”. On the left, a friendly humanoid character looks worried while holding a QR code that contains a large question mark. On the right, a smiling humanoid with a computer monitor for a head displays the text “QR256”. The right character holds up a mobile phone showing a checkmark, indicating a verified resolution. The two characters face each other in a friendly, humorous scene.
Authenticity, resolved. ✅
Authenticity grows when independent signals — including AI — align.
That’s Collective Authenticity: many contributors, one clearer picture
@WebBadge, trust is built from a collection of badges — not a single one — and you choose who can verify them.
Privacy, resolved. 🔐
Privacy starts with control.
In digital systems, obscurity isn’t enough — it’s fragile and easy to break.
@WebBadge, you choose: ✅ what’s valid ✅ what resolves ✅ what becomes verifiable
How are you thinking about privacy as AI plays a bigger role?
Introducing a new layer of the web:
#ResolutionLayer
Surface‑agnostic triggers (QR/NFC/BLE/RFID/links/agents)
→ deterministic meaning → lifecycle‑governed trust → verified by durable digital badges
Resolution Verification = #TrustResolutionLayer (TRL)
Trust, resolved.
A 🖼️ is worth a thousand words—this one resolves 25,000.
#QR256 (Beta) is live: QR256.com#QRCodes as pointers into the #ResolutionLayer, where meaning resolves deterministically with lifecycle rules.
🔐 AES‑256 at rest
✅ HMAC #IntegrityReceipts for verification
ALT A stylized QR code centered on a light background with the caption “A picture is worth 25,000 characters.” playing on the idea that this single QR image can resolve far more content than a traditional QR code. “QR256.COM” placed inside the QR block area.
We asked, 'What if every student had the chance to shape AI — not just use it?' And you showed up. From classrooms in Kansas to Kosovo, the Hour of AI sparked something big. New ideas. Big questions. Bold experiments. Thank you for being part of it. #HourOfAI
🌲 Official Member of 1% for the Planet 🌎🌍🌏
@WebBadge is now a proud member of @1PercentFTP, committing to donate 1% of future revenue to support environmental organizations focused on the environment.
ALT A serene landscape featuring snow-capped mountains partially covered by clouds in the background and a calm turquoise lake in the foreground. At the top center, the text reads "OFFICIAL MEMBER" above the WebBadge logo x the 1% for the Planet logo. Below the logos is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.” At the bottom right corner, two website URLs are displayed: www.webbadge.com and www.onepercentfortheplanet.org
We’re teaming up for trust and sustainability as we build trust in the digital world, one badge at a time. We believe that small actions—like a single badge or a single acorn—can grow into something much greater, especially when done collectively.
👋 I’m fundraising to attend my first-ever #Authenticate2025 Conference in Carlsbad, CA!
Hosted by @FIDOAlliance, it’s the leading event for digital identity & authentication.
Help me make it happen! 🙏

📅 Oct 13–15 | Omni La Costa Resort
ALT A digital badge labeled “Authenticate 2025” is centered over a scenic view of the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California. The design includes fingerprint patterns, biometric icons, and secure login symbols to represent digital identity. Warm tones and clean lines evoke a sense of optimism and community support. Text overlay reads: “Help Me Attend Authenticate 2025!
At @WebBadge - Your badge on the web, we’re exploring how identity systems can be made more modular, interoperable, and inclusive.
In a recent conversation sparked by a post on @LinkedIn, I shared a framing that aligns three guiding questions with core identity system functions:
ALT A Venn diagram illustrating three overlapping components of digital identity architecture. Each circle is labeled with a guiding question and its corresponding system: Authentication – “Are you the same entity each time?”, Identity – “Can someone tell who or what this is?”, and Verification – “Are you who you say you are?”. The overlapping areas suggest interaction and shared responsibilities among these systems. The design emphasizes modularity and the potential for consistent application across legacy and modern digital identity standards and systems.
