When you ask someone to sign a document, you can make sure the right person signs it with signer authentication. There are two kinds of authentication.
- SMS: when the signer gets the signature request email, they’re prompted to send a code to their phone. They must enter the code to access the document.
- Password: the sender sets a password that signers must use to access the file.
- The sender has to give this password to signers – it’s not included in the email request.
