Without this extra check, clients could make a typo in their email address and never be able to redeem the sessions they have purchased!<\/p>\n<p>Typos are pretty common, so we think it&#8217;s worth the extra step to make sure that their email has been entered correctly and they&#8217;ll receive all future communication from you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contract signing<\/h3>\n<p>When your client signs a contract they will need to confirm with a confirmation code, even if they&#8217;re recognized by the system. This ensures that the right person is signing and makes the online contract legally binding.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Client has switched devices<\/h3>\n<p>When a client logs in from a new device (phone, tablet, or computer on which they haven&#8217;t yet visited Paperbell), they&#8217;ll receive a confirmation code.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Client has logged out or cleared cache\/cookies<\/h3>\n<p>Most clients prefer to stay logged into Paperbell. But if they choose to log out or clear their browser&#8217;s cache\/cookies, they&#8217;ll need to enter a confirmation code when they log back in. This is why if you&#8217;re switching back and forth between a coach account and a &#8220;tester&#8221; client account you&#8217;ll hit the confirmation code frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/paperbell.com\/support\/knowledge-base\/the-paperbell-client-experience\/\">the Paperbell client experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is your client asked for a confirmation code?
