What to Do If You Suspect Unauthorized Account Access

Jul 31, 20262 min read

A login you don't recognize, a sign request you didn't send, an email about activity that wasn't you — act fast and in this order. Speed matters more than certainty; you can investigate after you've locked the door. 

The First Five Minutes 

1.  Change your password — Settings → Security. This invalidates the attacker's session. 

2.  Enable 2FA if it wasn't already on. This blocks re-entry even if they still have the old password. 

The Next Fifteen Minutes 

3.  Review your login history in Settings → Security — note unfamiliar devices, times, and locations. 

4.  Audit recent requests. Check your Sign Request list for anything you didn't create; open the audit trails of recent documents for actions that weren't yours. 

5.  Void anything suspicious. A fraudulent request that hasn't completed can be voided so it never becomes binding — do this before anything else spreads. 

Then Tell Us 

6.  Contact support from your registered email with the subject "Suspected unauthorized access". Include what you found and when. We'll review server-side logs, and can take additional protective action on the account. 

Note: If your email account itself may be compromised, secure it first — whoever controls your inbox can reset almost anything.
