Generation of new credentials
To generate new credentials in the wallet you must access the Validated ID Credential Issuer, VIDissuer. To access VIDissuer, it can be done from the mobile phone where the wallet is installed or from any other device. VIDissuer lists the types of credentials that the holder can self-issue. Visit the page to generate your credentials.

Presentation of credentials​
If the credential is being requested from a device that is not the wallet (cross device), to present the credential is necessary to access the QR code scanning section of the wallet and scan the QR code.
If the credential is being requested from the mobile phone itself (same device) the credential is presented through a deep link from the wallet, transparently to the user.
The presentation of the credential allows sharing them for use according to the use case:
Reception of credentials​
When a credential is issued, the user must specifically approve it to receive and store the credential.
Notifications​
- This section contains notifications from the app, both informative and those that require holder action. For instance, when a credential is requested or a new one is offered.
- The holder receives push notifications to their device that will take them to the wallet notifications menu. Each notification will guide the holder in the corresponding process.
Settings​
Allows to manage the wallet configuration: language (available in English, Spanish and Catalan), enable biometric authentication, change the access passcode, delete the user, etc.
