Then put <nowiki>{{User committed identity|</nowiki>''output''}} on your [[Wikipedia:User page|user page]], where ''output'' is the value appearing in the "SHA-1 hash:" box after the hash is calculated. Be sure to note the ''exact string'' you enter into the form, in case you need to use it later. |

To reveal your committed identity to someone, give them the ''exact string'' you entered into the box. They can then compute the SHA-1 hash of that same string and verify that it is the same result. |
