What is "Recipient Authentication" in DocuSign?

Recipient authentication in DocuSign focuses on verifying the identity of signers, which is crucial for ensuring that transactions are secure and that only authorized individuals can access and sign documents. This process helps maintain the integrity of the signatures, prevents fraud, and builds trust in the electronic signing process.

Utilizing various methods, such as email verification, SMS codes, or knowledge-based authentication, recipient authentication provides an additional layer of security. It ensures that the person who is supposed to be signing the document is indeed the one who accesses it, making it a key feature for users looking to uphold security and compliance standards in their electronic transactions.

The other choices do not accurately describe recipient authentication. Editing documents prior to signing, sending reminders, or tracking the number of signed documents pertain to different functionalities within DocuSign, but they do not directly relate to the process of verifying a recipient's identity.
