Notary Connect: How to Login with a Shared Email Address via MFA

Snapdocs highly recommends that users do not share email addresses or passwords when logging in. Using an individual account ensures better security, accurate audit logging, and a more seamless login experience.

If this is not possible for some reason, we’ve provided instructions below on how to login with a shared email if you must share an account across users. 

How to login with MFA using a shared account

Step 1: Navigate to your login page for Snapdocs. The specific URL depends on your individual company, it is important to confirm with your Snapdocs Admin that you are using the correct URL. If you are a client user associated with multiple client accounts within one company you can still login using app.snapdocs.com.

Step 2: Select the Log In button.

Step 3: Enter your email address and password into the text boxes. Select Log In.

Step 4: You will then be asked to verify your identity by entering in a one-time code sent to the method that you chose when setting up your account. 

If you select phone: You will need to enter a shared phone number for the team or an individual mobile phone number. 

If you select authenticator app: If you selected Google Authenticator or a similar OTP (one time password) application, scan the QR code on the screen with your preferred authenticator app to add a new account. This option will only work for your individual authenticator app. 

Please Note: This will only need to be done the first time you login. The next time you login there will be an option to ‘select a different method’ and receive the code via email each time you login.

Step 5: If you are sharing this account only one person can access the code from their  phone, so you will need to select Try another method
