How to Login with a Shared Email Address via MFA

Snapdocs highly recommends users not share email addresses and passwords when logging in. Having an individual account that you use ensures better security and audit logging as well as makes for a more seamless login experience.

We provide instructions below on how to ensure that your whole team has individual logins to access any closings sent to that shared email account. Additionally, if this is not possible for some reason, we also provide instructions on how to login with a shared email if you must share an account across users. 

How to setup individual accounts that can access shared closings

Step 1: Log into Snapdocs using your existing username/password and MFA (multi-factor authentication) method (SMS or Authenticator App).

Step 2: Select My Office from the dropdown menu at the top right hand corner of your screen.
