How to create your Cloud Profile in Affinidi Vault

The cloud profile in Affinidi Vault enables secure cloud-based storage, allowing you to manage and sync your information across multiple devices seamlessly.

It also provides additional functionality, such as uploading documents to your Affinidi Vault and extracting data to quickly populate your profile with personal information and preferences.

Creating a Cloud Profile

If you are new to Affinidi Vault, follow these steps to create your account.

It is recommended to utilise the following to differentiate your Profile Types.
