Good news! Two-factor authentication is now available for Dropbox Sign

‍

We've now taken security a step further with our latest two-factor authentication feature. The most exciting part? Dropbox Sign is the only eSignature solution to offer this extra security feature at the account level.



‍

Why Choose Two-Factor Authentication?

‍


Two-factor authentication provides an added layer of security to your Dropbox Sign account by requiring an extra step during the login process. When two-factor authentication is enabled, a unique code is sent via text message to a separate phone or device that you've linked to your account. You can think of it a little like getting the answer to a security question sent directly to your phone. 

‍

Two-factor authentication is triggered whenever you login, including any time your account is accessed by a new device and/or browser. You'll be required to enter the unique code in order to access your account as long as two-factor authentication is enabled on your account. 

‍

Two-factor authentication is triggered whenever you need to login, including any time your account is accessed by a new device and/or browser. As long as two-factor authentication is enabled on your account, you'll be required to enter a unique code in order to access your account.

‍

How To Set Up Two-Factor Authentication For Your Account

‍


Set-up is simple! Just a few easy steps and you'll be all set:

‍

  1. Go to the Settings tab and click on Business Features.
  2. Scroll down to Two-Factor Authentication. Enter your mobile phone number and click Verify. You'll be sent an SMS message with a phone verification code to enter.
  3. The next time you log in, you will be prompted to enter an authentication code sent to you via SMS. If you don't have your phone, you can use the one-time backup code that you saved earlier.
