What are common security recommendations?

• VerifiedID web site does not perform operations on the NFTs in user wallets. You can sign in with wallet with existing NFTs and create VerifiedID Credential Card for the presented wallet.
• For users that are extra cautious about opening their wallets on different sites (Yes, that is the goal behind this service, to reduce exactly this!), we recommend that you create a VerifiedID Credential Card for an empty wallet (or wallet with VerifiedID Avatar when available), then move valuable NFTs into that wallet. VerifiedID Credential Card, when presented to a verifier service will allow verifier to validate that you own the wallet address and will check what NFTs are currently in the wallet. You can prove that you own NFTs and you get extra security by keeping them in the wallet that is not used on different sites.
