Additionally, many digital credential systems incorporate features like biometric verification or multi-factor authentication, adding extra layers of security. By creating a more robust and tamper-resistant form of identification, digital credentials significantly reduce the risk of fraudsters successfully impersonating others, thus helping to prevent identity theft in various online and offline scenarios.
