How to Get a Verified Email Badge (Extremely Rare)

[@ThioJoe]

IMPORTANT TIP - For if for some reason you weren't shown the password page, or you accidentally closed it / refreshed it, and now it won't let you register again... ⇨ What you can do is go to the email message that has the certificate attachment, where it has the "User Code" and "Private Personal Code (CRP)", which I show at 9:40, and use those credentials to log into the certificate management page link (also shown in that email). It might make you create a new CRP code, so do that then log in. In there you'll be able to revoke the first certificate. Then it will let you register for another certificate on the same email. I tried it myself and it worked.

Can anybody tell me how to outlook in windows 7. The browser is chrome.

[@stephenb.8381]

The German Postal Service "Deutsche Post" and it's subsidiary DHL sign (almost) all their emails. However, this doesn't effectively protect the "regular user" from phishing attempts, therefore certificate pinning (→ HSTS) should be added to the S/MIME standard...

This is very helpful! I already having this on my corporate but not on my personal account until i have watch this and implemented on my email clients. Works for Outlook and iPhone, however I can't make it work on Outlook Mobile app on Android. Any suggestions on email client mobile app that will work using personal certificate for Android OS?

[@calvinwalker4654]

I’m guessing his audience has never used email in a work situation. Email certificates aren’t some rare thing. They’re just not used for normal people to email other normal people. They don’t really serve a purpose in that sense. It’s for when your boss emails you so know it’s actually from him instead of someone spoofing the email address. Yes I know there’s ways to get around the certificate to but that’s a whole new rabbit hole

[@TheLukasz032]

@@calvinwalker4654 - also, it's more a thing used together with *end-to-end encryption* S/MIME offers. If both sides of a conversation do have their e-mail certificates and then exchange their public keys, they can use the keys to actually encrypt an e-mail content in a way only the recipient can decrypt it. While it can be used to pass secret data by e-mail, it has a downside the mailserver cannot see the content at all, including attachments. So no anti-virus scanning server-side.

For anybody using Linux and wanting to give it a go, here's a quick guide for Gnome Evolution 1. follow Thio until you get the certificate file from the zip attached to your email (up until ~10:00) 2. open Evolution and go to `Edit » Preferences` click on `certificates` at the bottom of the dialog box that opens up. Click on `import` and select your certificate .pfx file 3. now go to `Email accounts` click on `Edit`. On the new dialog box go to the `Security` section, and you'll se a S/MIME section, click on the `Select` button and choose your cert. You're done! now when you want to sign a message, on the email composer just go to `Options » Sign with S/MIME` Inbound signed messages will have a green banner with a wax stamp icon on it

[@ferdilife2023]

Some corrections: 5:15 the service does bot have to ask the certificate authority. The certificate already tells, that it has checked. By the way it is not the service who checks, but your client app/program. And this is also why Gmail itself does not let import your certificate, because they would need your private part of the certificate, which us very bad, so they forbid it

The other big plus is if everyone gets a S/MIME certificate, we can begin saving each other’s public certificates already sent in signed messages then we can encrypt messages to each other. Just like PGP or GPG but with much better support.

Most people aren't wise to that unfortunately

[@chiragsingla.]

I am confused if you use s/mime won't it encrypt with pub keu automatically and decrypt it ?

[@remino]

@@chiragsingla. You can use S/MIME to sign a message and encrypt a message. When you sign a message with S/MIME, your public certificate is sent along with it, to tell the receipient the message really came from you. That recipient can then use that public certificate to encrypt messages sent to you, which you can then decrypt using your private certificate.

My organisation has a 'spam quarantine' system in place to filter all incomming and all outgoing external emails. When sending an email within the organisation, the S/MIME feature works as anticipated. This is because the spam filtration system recognises that it is within the organisation.

Please don't forget to make a video about this whenever gmail web allows people to do this!!

[@Ehallog]

Thank you for the great information so far

12 seconds into the video, I heard what I thought was my name, “Brad.…” The sound, which is most certainly audible,seemingly emanates from a disembodied voice,l. I was alone, and went to my front door - to see who was beckoning. A quick rewind to 0:12 proved who was asking, a ghost interrupting host… so, what did he want? Lol…

Thanks Thio! It worked and have applied them to all my main email accounts. Actalis still offers free S/MIME certs.

before: *no one has an email badge* after: *337,608 people has the badge*

Would be nice if you showed some instructions on how to do this in Thunderbird since that is a popular Outlook alternative.

[@thecollinanderson]

I have done it it's reasonably simple. Follow the general steps in the video and then look for specific thunderbird documentation. I guarantee you can set it up in under an hour.

I haven't watched this man in 6 years

I will use this method so that I can flex my verified badge when I send an assignment to my teacher 😏

"Giving companies money that offer free services for things no one else will". Well said. I totally agree with you there. You're a good man, Theo.

But 6:06 is where I need to start later, so I can take notes.

[@MacTX]

interesting but would be more useful if web clients support it. I switched from dedicated email applications to browser client years ago and I suspect that a lot of people have as well.

Such a great guide, massive thank you!

Wasted 30 minutes of my life for an icon, it was worth it 🤣

[@poudelpradeep]

Thanks Thiojoe for this video Who cares about social media when email is verified

[@Mon1moN]

At 4:33 I was laughing because of the dumb user certificates
