Web Identity & Credentials Adoption Community Group

The mission of the Web Identity & Credentials Adoption Community Group is to accelerate the adoption and improve the developer experience of emerging web identity and credentialing technologies. The group will achieve this by creating best-practice guidance, developing targeted educational content, and fostering a collaborative environment for developers and ecosystem stakeholders. Our goal is to help build a more secure, private, and user-friendly web by making powerful identity standards easier to understand and implement.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2025-09-08 by Tim Cappalli. The following people supported its creation: Wendy Seltzer, Tim Cappalli, George Fletcher, Matthew Miller, Emelia Smith, Alan Buxey, Phil Smart and SURESH POTTI. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.
