Settings Overview
ZiaSign settings are organized into four tabs — Account, Billing, Workspace, and Notifications — plus dedicated pages for Profile, Teams, and Sharing Policy.
Login & Profile Setup
ZiaSign uses passwordless OTP-based authentication — there are no passwords. Here's how it works:
- Enter your email address on the sign-in page
- You receive a 6-digit one-time code via email
- Enter the code to sign in
- First-time users are prompted to complete their profile by entering their First Name, Last Name, and Mobile Number
You can also sign in using Google SSO or Microsoft SSO. On iOS, Apple Sign In is also available.
