I Still Can't See the Option I'm Looking For
If after signing in (If your name appears in the top right-hand corner of your Credential View, you are signed in), you still don't see the feature you are looking for. This will be because your issuer has disabled this feature completely.
If you would like to discuss the possibility of getting the feature re-enabled, we recommend speaking to your issuer directly. This article explains how to contact your issuer: How Can I Contact My Issuer?
FAQs for Signing In
Can't I use the login details I used for my course?
The system where your credentials are hosted is separate from the system that you used to take your course, so the login details you used for your course will not be recognized here (the only detail that may be the same would be your email address if you always use the same one). That said, once you have set up a login for your credentials, you will then have access to your credentials for life, whereas your login details and account with your course provider may deactivate or be lost over time.
Setting Yourself a Password
You will be sent an email [check the spam folder, also] with a link to a page that will request you to set up a new password. Once you have set up your password, you will be able to log in to your Credential View and have the added benefits of all the functions your issuer set to private.
