It appears that our proposition is one of the 31 winners out of 268 submissions according to https://santander.devpost.com/project-gallery?page=2

Assuming that you find our discussion relevant and compelling, your support to our project would be very much appreciated.

Incidentally, I have recently come across this article — “Santander’s aspirations to be your trustedidentity custodian” https://diginomica.com/santanders-aspirations-be-your-trusted-identity-custodian

We made an entry into the Digital Trust Hackathon on @SantanderDevs’s invitation under the title of ‘Digital Identity for Global Citizens’ as per https://devpost.com/software/digital-identity-for-global-citizens

Irrespective of how we get ranked in the contest, we are very pleased that, with this entry, we were given an excellent opportunity to present our proposition of Expanded Password System in a much easier-to-grasp format such as

- Inspiration

- What it does

- How we built it

- Challenges we ran into

- Accomplishments that we’re proud of

- What we learned

- What’s next

You might hopefully be interested to have a quick look at it, desirably along with this 90-minute video — https://youtu.be/916VFMmQHYU
