Focus

• Credential UX part 2

Discussion Topics

• Report on OCA:
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-mobile-agent-react-native/issues/164
• Auto-approval of presentation requests (e.g.: trusted verifier, trusted preset, etc ...)
  • auto-approval of presentations can be risky (check box to auto-approve that verifier in the future.)
    • presentation for login - some other user could login on a computer, and your phone auto approves.
  • bulk-approval
    • one time bulk approval
