Account Security
Documenso offers several security features to help you protect your account and documents. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Passkeys for your account. Two-factor authentication (2FA) and Passkeys are used for high-security and high-compliance signatures.Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Navigate to your account’s security settings. Here, you can manage your password and other security settings.
Click the “Enable 2FA” button to start setting up Two-Factor Authentication. You will be presented with a QR code that you can scan with your 2FA app or a code that you can manually enter.
Use your 2FA app (e.g. Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator) to scan the QR code. This will link your account to the 2FA app and generate a code that you can use to log in.
After scanning the QR code, you will be prompted to enter the code generated by your 2FA app. After entering the code, click the “Enable 2FA” button to complete the process.
You have successfully enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your account. To log in, you must enter the code generated by your 2FA app.
Logging in with Google will not require a 2FA code. As an authentication provider, your Google
account is considered secure. e.g. configuring 2FA for your Google account.
Logging in using a passkey will also not require a 2FA code since passkeys are considered 2FA by
design. The passkey itself is the first factor, and access to the device that holds it is
considered the second factor.
Add Passkeys
A passkey is like a secret password stored locally on your device. You can log in from the device it was created on but not from another device.Navigate to the security settings in your account.
Click the “Manage passkeys” button to start setting up a passkey. You will be taken to a new page where you can manage your passkeys or add a new one.
To add a new passkey, click the “Add passkey” button. This opens a modal window where you can choose a passkey name.
What happens next depends on the passkey provider you have configured. If you have a passkey provider installed in your browser, you will be prompted to add the passkey there. If not, you will be prompted to add the passkey to your browser’s passkey manager.
Whatever option you choose, follow the on-screen instructions to add the passkey. Once the passkey is added, you can use it to log in to your account.
