1. A system for sharing credential information, comprising:
an interface configured to:
receive, from a requesting server, a request for credentialed information associated with a user; and
a processor configured to:
determine that two or more stored credentials of a set of stored credentials satisfy the request for the credentialed information, wherein each of the two or more stored credentials is associated with a level of specificity;
identify, from the two or more stored credentials that satisfy the request for credentialed information, a selected credential based on the level of specificity associated with the selected credential, wherein the level of specificity associated with the selected credential is a lowest level of specificity; and
provide the selected credential to the requesting server.
