Signer Verification

View as Markdown

Clear Ideas can require signer verification before a recipient begins signing.

Verification Methods

  • Authenticated User: the signer must be signed in to the correct Clear Ideas account
  • Email Code: the signer must enter a verification code emailed during the signing process before the document is revealed
  • Required Account 2FA: the signer must have two-factor authentication enabled on their Clear Ideas account when that request setting is selected

Why Verification Matters

Verification strengthens the signing record by tying the signing ceremony to a validated Clear Ideas account and any captured verification events for that signer.

Grace Period

If a recipient has just verified their email as part of becoming a new Clear Ideas user, Clear Ideas allows a short grace period before requiring another signing-time email code.
