Security Tips
Practical guidance for protecting your SignedX account through multi-factor authentication, password management, and secure device practices.
Keeping your account secure is a shared responsibility. The tips below help you protect your SignedX login and the documents you send and receive.
Use two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication adds an essential extra layer of security to your SignedX login. It requires both a password and a secondary verification method — typically a one-time code sent to your mobile device.
Benefits of enabling 2FA
- Enhanced security — a compromised password alone won't grant account access
- Protection against phishing — even if credentials are shared, attackers lack the second verification factor
- Compliance-ready — many industries mandate 2FA to meet modern security standards
Encourage your entire team to enable 2FA to ensure organisation-wide protection.
Change your password regularly
Periodic password updates reduce long-term risk, particularly if older credentials were reused elsewhere or stored on inactive devices.
Tips for creating a strong password
- Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- Avoid predictable words or common patterns
- Aim for at least 12 characters
Be cautious when using shared computers
Shared devices in offices or coworking spaces present elevated risks requiring preventive measures.
Security tips for shared devices
- Always log out of SignedX and other accounts when finished
- Never save passwords or enable auto-fill for login credentials
- Clear browser history, cookies, and cache after each session
- Use private or incognito browsing mode
- Ensure 2FA is enabled as backup protection
Use a password manager
Password managers securely store credentials, generate complex passwords, and eliminate weak or reused passwords across accounts.
Why use a password manager?
- Stronger security through uniqueness
- Convenience — remember only one master password
- Auto-generate complex passwords instantly
Popular password managers
- LastPass
- 1Password
- NordPass
- Google Password Manager
