Issues with LinkedIn certificates.
For certificates linked to LinkedIn, even after clicking to view them, you still need to log in and authenticate to view them. It seems this makes it impossible to make them public.
Resolved — the LinkedIn button previously set the credential URL to the OAuth-protected generator itself. It now creates a signed, participant-specific public verification URL. Anyone opening “Show credential” can view the verified participant record and certificate PNG without signing in to Hugging Face; altered credential links are rejected.
The fix is live now. Please generate your certificate again and use the new “Add to LinkedIn profile” button. If you already added the old credential, LinkedIn retained its old generic URL, so remove/re-add that credential (or replace its credential URL with the newly generated one).
Thanks for reporting this!
