FAQ<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\nYou’re ready to sign, you click through, and then nothing. No code. No text. Just you staring at your phone like it’s personally betraying you.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you have not received your <\/span>DocuSign OTP not received? The fix<\/b> situation is happening <\/span>right now<\/span><\/i>; this guide is built for speed. We’ll run a 5-minute checklist first, then cover the less obvious stuff (like sender settings and iPhone filters) that usually explains the “I tried everything” cases.<\/span><\/p>\nQuick compliance note: <\/span>PVAPins is not affiliated with DocuSign. Please follow each app’s terms and local regulations.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/span>Start here: is this phone\/SMS authentication or something else?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nDocuSign “verification” can mean an SMS\/phone OTP, an access code, ID verification, or another recipient-authentication method. The fastest fix is to identify which screen you’re on, because that determines what you can actually change.<\/span><\/p>\nBefore you spend 20 minutes rage-tapping “Resend,” pause for a second. Some envelopes aren’t waiting on an SMS at all. They’re waiting on an access code the sender gave you separately.<\/span><\/p>\nPhone\/SMS OTP vs access code vs ID verification (quick 30-second ID)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Here’s the quick ID guide:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Phone\/SMS OTP:<\/b> The screen says “We sent a code” or “Enter the code texted to you.”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Access code:<\/b> The screen says “Enter access code” (usually provided separately by the sender).<\/span><\/li>\n
- ID verification (IDV):<\/b> You’ll see prompts to verify your identity, upload an ID, or use a camera to capture your ID.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you see <\/span>“Enter access code,”<\/b> congrats, SMS isn’t your problem today. If you see <\/span>“We sent a code,”<\/b> keep going.<\/span><\/p>\nWhy the sender\/admin settings decide what you can do (DocuSign Support)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Here’s the deal: in many business signing flows, <\/span>the sender (or admin) chooses the recipient authentication method.<\/b> That means you can’t always “switch it off” as the signer.<\/span><\/p>\nSo you’ll have two categories of fixes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Device-level fixes<\/b> (filters, roaming, formatting, networks)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Sender-level fixes<\/b> (resend envelope, correct phone number, switch method)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you need a safe, official place to double-check how authentication works, DocuSign’s support center is the cleanest reference.<\/span><\/p>\n
