How do I verify my age on a website protected by ChainIT ID?
Learn how to access age-restricted sites using the ChainIT ID app.
- Go to the Website:
- When you attempt to enter an age-restricted site, you will see a QR code displayed on the screen.
- If you're on your mobile device:
- Click on the QR code.
- The ChainIT ID app will open.
- Login to the app.
- If you're on a computer:
- On your mobile device, open the ChainIT ID app.
- Login to the app.
- Click the scan button in the bottom-center of the home page.
- Point your device camera at the QR code to scan it.
- Share Only the Required Information:
- In the ChainIT ID app, you will be prompted to verify the information you want to share.
- The app will only share the information shown. You do not need to share your name, address, or date of birth.
- Access the Website:
- The ChainIT ID app will send your verified age to the website in the form of a hashed Validated Digital Token (VDT). This allows you to access the age-restricted site.
- The website will not receive or store any identifying information about you. It will simply receive a Pass/Fail result, granting you access if you meet the age and location restrictions.
By following these steps, you can securely and easily gain access to age-restricted sites while keeping your personal information private.
