Individual user settings

You can connect to your backpack as follows:

  1. In the user menu (top right), select Preferences, then 'Backpack settings' under Badges.
  2. If necessary, select your backpack provider.
  3. Enter your Badgr user account email and password.
  4. Look in your mailbox for a verification email and copy and paste the link to verify your connection to the backpack.

After the backpack connection is successfully established, badges from your backpack can be displayed on your badges page and your profile page. Go to Manage badges (via Preferences / Badges) and click the icon to add your badge to your backpack.

You can also select collections of badges from your backpack that you would like to display in your profile.
