Certify eSigning Default with airSlate SignNow

Cc email signature verification

This video is going to leave you shocked that you didn't know about this before. Have you ever looked at those influences who think they're so cool with their verified Twitter and Instagram badges? Me too.. Me too... * Bruh Sound Effect #2 * But there is one verified badge anyone can get, but counter-intuitively virtually no one has. And that is for your Email account. Yes it's actually a thing, you can see here I did it for my generic test email account which is nothing special, and in Apple Mail it shows an actual check mark, in Gmail it shows a green check, and in outlook it shows this ribbon badge. And yes of course, the whole point of this video is that I'm going to show you how to get it yourself. And by the way, no, this is not any kind of dumb trick like putting some emoji next to your account name, it's a legit special badge. And it's free, mind you. Now, don't be intimidated by the video length, it will be worth it, and I'll put timestamps in the description if you need to come back to different instructions, but also don't just skip a head because I need to explain some context first that you'll want to know, like what the heck this badge is even for and why it exists. Now I can hear some of your questions already like, "wait a minute, if anyone can get one of these, why is it so rare?" Well the answer is because it's usually a pain in the --- to set up if you don't know what you're doing, which by the end of the video you will. You see these 'verified' badges in the email software are not actually like verified badges on social media. But rather they signify that an email has been sent with a certain security protocol called "S/MIME", which is a feature supported by almost all email clients. And I guess it's just rarely used because this level of security is just not really necessary. However, I think once people realize that you can get a super rare badge appearing next to your emails, that might get people's attention. What's really funny is the S/MIME protocol has been around since around 2004. But despite that, I have literally only seen it used ONCE, which was an email from some crypto exchange marketing email. And it had a badge in Apple Mail and immediately my reaction was just... what. is. that. I had never seen it before. So I saw that when you click on the thing with badge, it says "The sender signed this message with a trusted certificate", and I also looked in the Gmail web interface which said something similar, so I knew it wasn't just an Apple thing. And long story short, after quite a bit of digging, I figured out that it uses that S/MIME protocol I already mentioned, and specifically you need -...
