SMS verification process for user authentication in the context of signing documents using Signing Cloud. Here's a concise summary:

Initiation of Verification: The user initiates a process that requires verification, such as signing a document on the Signing Cloud platform.

Phone Number Verification: The user's registered phone number is used for verification. It's important that the user's phone number is associated with their account.

SMS Dispatch: Signing Cloud sends an SMS message containing a one-time code (typically a 6-digit code) to the user's registered phone number.

User Receives SMS: The user receives the SMS containing the one-time verification code on their mobile device.

Code Entry: The user enters the 6-digit verification code into the Signing Cloud web portal or app. This step confirms that they have access to the phone associated with the account.

Authorization: Upon successful entry of the correct verification code, the user is authorized to proceed with the intended action, such as placing a digital signature on a document.

Document Signing: With the SMS verification completed, the user can now review and sign the document within the Signing Cloud platform.

This SMS verification process adds an extra layer of security by confirming the user's identity through their possession of the registered mobile device. It's a common and effective method for securing access to sensitive actions or information.
