How to Get a Verified Email Badge (Extremely Rare)

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.

I will do this for my school email so that my teachers are absolutely sure that I sent the email

Who needs a verified Twitter/Instagram when you can get a verified email

Cant wait to see all the "official" google employees asking for your info

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

Finally I can be verified for something 😩

Currently wasting valuable time of human life for a tick next to my email, now I can boost my ego further. I wonder what the ladies will think.😃

Great informative vid! Never heard of this until now

This is a very comprehensive explanation. It is well executed and it anticipates questions a person might reasonably have. Seldom one ends up with all one's questions answered. Well done!! And thanks.

This is more comparable to the "lock" symbol for HTTPS sites in chrome than the "verified" nike symbol on social media

Side note: 12:14 If you don't find your certificate in that folder, check Current User\Other People\Certificates. Move that to the folder Joe mentions in the video. You'll thank me when you get to 14:28 - Setting Up Outlook

Interested to see all the red question marks in a year when the certificates expire and users forget how to do all this and don't renew it. Then your email looks like spam when it's not. 🤣

FANTASTIC!!! I can not believe it worked on the FIRST TRY! Your walkthrough is so good that I did everything correctly and I didn't miss anything!

This video is just so useful and informative, it wasn't boring at all worth giving your time and "patient is a virtue"

Thanks ThioJoe! Thanks for making this video it was very easy to follow along. I miss seeing new videos from you but I'm glad that your old ones are still up so we can all refer back to them.

A fabulous video, and you‘ve put so much work into it. I‘m exhausted just from watching! At the moment, the thought of going through this process makes my head hurt, but tomorrow is another day. Thank you so much for this kind of material.

Now I can show off to my friends :3, thankyou Thiojoe 😃, and random people online ☺

Thank you very much Thiojoe. It works for me under a school serviced email. There was a warning box. Something along the lines of "Windows could not verify this security protocol." At the end of the box, it said something along the lines of, "this could be a security hole, click yes to acknowledge the risks and continue. " I clicked no, and shortly after followed a message of success. How humorous. Task failed successfully!

I am not real computer savvy but decided to give this a shot after watching this video. By golly, it worked! Took me some time. I had to rewind the video half a dozen times for each step (I am kind of slow), but I did it! Sent my brother an email first thing, and he caught it. Yes, he was impressed. Thank you
