βοΈ What is Email Verification?
Email Verification is a lightweight access control feature that sends a 6-digit one-time passcode to your selected email address before allowing users to view your shared PDF file. It's perfect for:
- Client document sharing
- Internal team reports
- Private proposal reviews
- Secure ticket or file delivery
β
How It Works
- Enable "Email Verification" when configuring your file on MaiPDF
- Enter up to 50 authorized email addresses, separated by commas
- When someone opens the PDF link:
- They are prompted to enter their email
- A masked preview shows which emails are allowed (e.g.,
jo**@domain.com)
- They instantly receive a code in their inbox
- Once the code is verified, access is granted
Step 5: Monitor Verification Logs
MaiPDF provides detailed logs of email verification attempts. Use these logs to monitor who accessed the document and ensure that only authorized users are viewing your files.
