What is First Person Credentials (First Person Network)?

First Person Credentials are digital attestations that their holder is a distinct real person acting on their own behalf, issued by an organization that has already established that relationship and then presented to other sites without revealing who the holder is. The associated First Person Network describes the arrangement between issuers and relying parties that gives such an attestation meaning, so a service can separate genuine human accounts from bulk automated sign-ups while collecting minimal personal data.
