On the Settings page, you can adjust the settings for your personal user account. These changes apply only to the account you are logged in with, not to other users within your organization.
Choose which settings you want to adjust:
Account settings
Transaction settings
Account settings
Personal info
Here you can change your name, language, and timezone settings.
Note: Your username (email address) can only be changed by a portal administrator via the user management page.
Change password
You can change your password directly from the settings page. When creating a new password, it must be at least 14 characters long. To enhance security, we recommend using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters to create a strong and secure password.
Two-factor authentication
You can enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) through the settings page. Enhance your account security with an additional layer of protection. Enable 2FA to add an extra step during login, ensuring only authorized access to your account. For detailed setup instructions, check out our article on setting up 2FA.
Transaction settings
Default transaction options
Here you manage the settings that are used as default when you create a new transaction.
Enable authentication: Authentication helps to identify signers before viewing the document.
Send sign request in order: We will send out the invitations to signers one by one.
Send sign request invitation by email: When turned on we will send the sign request link by email.
Seal documents by default: A digital stamp guarantees the authenticity of the document. Are signers added to a transaction? Then it is not necessary to seal the document as well.
Add document as email attachment: After all parties have signed, a confirmation email is sent with a link and attached PDF of the signed document.
Invitation preferences: When creating a new transaction these fields will be pre-filled
Email subject
Message
Transaction validity: Choose a duration between 1-90 days. After this period, the transaction expires and associated documents are deleted.
Reminder interval: Frequency of reminder emails sent until the transaction is signed or expired. The reminder interval in days can not be longer than the transaction validity.
Intro message: This message will be shown directly after opening the sign request hyperlink. The signer will see this text before they review the document(s).
Return URL: The return URL where signatories will be directed to after finishing the signing process. This allows you to set up your personal landing page where signers end up after signing.
Default signer options
Here you manage settings that determine how a signer is added by default within a transaction.
Default authentication methods: Select your preferred authentication method; it will be automatically set when creating new transactions.
Default verification methods: Select your preferred verification method; it will be automatically set when creating new transactions.
Signer language: Determine the language in which the fixed parts of the invitation email are sent to the signer.
Signer delegation: Allows a signer to designate another person to complete the signing process.
Note: Enabling signer delegation restricts certain identification methods so that the signer can delegate to a different signer.
User tokens
If you want to use Signhost via an API connection, a user token (also known as an API key) must be generated in the Signhost web portal. Read more about creating a user token in this article.
