Force users to sign in to sign a document

We are using SharePoint with Nintex to automate document signing. The problem is that the URL it sends is completely anonymous. I'm wanting to find out how we can lock it down and force the assigned email address to login with their verified email address in order to view and sign the documents (only the documents for them). This will stop confidential documents being accessed by people that shouldn't see them.

The documents are internal only, e.g. for everyone to sign off on a new process or expenditure etc.

Anyone know if this is a possible setting or are we stuck with security by obscurity?

Greetings!

For users within your account, you can force them to authenticate to Adobe Sign before signing.

The setting can be configured by an Admin (at the Account or Group level) here: Account > Account Settings > Security Settings > Signer Identity Verification

    Awesome, thanks!

    So the anonymous link will then only be anonymous to users who are outside of the account?

    The link itself does not change, but how the recipient is understood and treated does.

    Each signing link is directly tied to a userID, which is (effectively) indicated a unique email address (It's more complex than that, but that level of detail doesn't help clarify your question)

    Because recipients (emails) within your organization are under a specific rule set that dictates a specific behavior, when they click the link, the behavior is triggered.

    Recipients external to your account are under a different set of rules.

    If they also happen to be in an Adobe Sign account, then the rules for signers in that account will apply to them.

    If they are in no account (The vast bulk of people), then the default rules apply.  The signature link is still directly tied to the userID (email) in all cases for audit-ability,
