Hi @Viraj Patva ,yes, you can issue your own Verifiable Credentials to Microsoft Authenticator using your own Identity System. You do not need to use Entra Verified ID to issue and verify your credentials. To issue your own Verifiable Credentials, you need to create a Verifiable Credential definition that describes the contents of the credential. This definition includes the claims that you want to include in the credential, as well as any display information that you want to include. Once you have created the Verifiable Credential definition, you can use your Identity System to issue the credential to a user. The user can then store the credential in their Microsoft Authenticator app. To verify the credential, you can use a Verifiable Credential SDK to verify the signature of the credential and the claims that it contains. You can also use the SDK to check that the credential was issued by a trusted issuer. Microsoft provides a Verifiable Credentials SDK that you can use to issue and verify Verifiable Credentials. You can find more information about the SDK and how to use it in the following documentation: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-verifiable-credentials Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.
