Tiny Mastodon Tip for Newcomers :mastodon: :verified:

If you notice on someone's
Mastodon profile they have one or more website link(s) that are in green and/or have a checkmark besides it (the presentation will vary per app):

This means they have verified this website ✅

It is a method to add identity
verification, for free, for each user who wants it. It proves that this person has control of this website (can add a link of their Mastodon profile to it).

This is especially recommended to do
for organizations who might want to demonstrate they are an official account :official_verified:

It is quite simple to do ✨
You simply need to be able to add a link to the website you want to use. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/111778923683518017

Tiny Mastodon Tip to Verify Yourself :verified:🐘: The checkmark icons on Mastodon are not official. They are simply custom instance icons people add to their name, like I have on mine, usually for fun :official_verified: :verifiedpurple: :verified_flashing: :blobcatverified: But, there is a way to verify yourself on Mastodon! And it’s completely free! :awesome: It works by providing a proof of ownership of a website you control. This is especially important for organizations to show followers their account is official. HOW TO ❓ 1. On desktop, go to Preferences > Public profile, then click on the “Verification” tab at the top ✔ 2. Click on “Copy” to copy the HTML code containing a link to your Mastodon profile. 3. Go to the website page you control and paste the code somewhere in the HTML code of the page. In the HTML code, you can keep the hyperlink on the “Mastodon” word as it is per default, or you can attach it to a social media icon for example :mastodon: Alternatively, you can make this link invisible (like I did on mine) and simply place this code within your website's head: `<link href="FULL-LINK-TO-YOUR-MASTODON-ACCOUNT" rel="me">` :blobboo: 4. Once your website is up and updated, copy the full link to the page where you pasted your Mastodon account link. 5. Back to your Mastodon account, go to Preferences > Public profile, and here look for the section "Extra fields" 6. Paste your page's link in a “Content” field and “Label” it as you wish. It could be labelled “Website” or “Personal Page” or anything you like! 7. Click on the “Save changes” button at the bottom :blocky_white_cursor: 8. Your verified link(s) should appear in green on your Mastodon profile page once it is validated (this could take a few hours to resolve so be patient). 9. Magic!✨ #TinyMastodonTip #Mastodon
