 ## Unreleased
 
+### Changed
+
+-   Adjusted the schema validation for credential schemas to no longer require title and description. The type is now required to be 'object'.
+
 ### Fixed
 
 -   An issue where changing the credential metadata URL to an invalid URL, or a URL that does not contain a credential metadata file, would result in an empty screen.
