Authentication Type Reason to use Workflow
Email OTP To verify that the signer has access to the registered Email. Sends an auto-generated verification code to the recipient’s Email ID.
SMS OTP To verify that the signer has access to the registered phone number. Sends an auto-generated verification code to the recipient’s phone number.
Access code This is used when the sender wants to use a specific code to verify the signer. The access code must be communicated personally to the signer beforehand.
  • If you select the Email OTP option, an OTP message will be sent to the signer’s email id. The signer must enter the received code to access the document.
