Box Sign enables you to provide extra layers of security by requesting the signer to add 2 factor authentication (SMS) during signing, or by providing a password for protecting access to the document.
The following applies depending on the security method used:
- When you apply 2FA, Box sends the recipient an SMS text message to verify the person’s identity.
- When you apply a password, the signer needs to input the password you provide before starting the sign process.
Note: Activating authentication does not mean the signers also receive a signature request via text message.
