Use an email address you have access to!
To verify your permission to use the provided email, we will send a verification email (How to Verify a Badge Issuer).
When you create a new Badge Issuer, we send an email for verification, including a verification link and a verification code.
To verify an Issuer, you - or someone with access to the provided email inbox - should click on the verification link or send you the verification code (once you get the code, use the Verify Badge Issuer API call to verify the issuer).
A badge is a digital representation of an accomplishment, skill, or authorization that can be earned and displayed. It serves as verifiable proof of a user's achievements and can be shared across digital platforms.
