Magic links and passkeys, and which NDAs show up in your account.

04

Your account

Send NDA has no passwords. You sign in with your Steddle account, one account for every Steddle product: with a link we email you, or with a passkey once you've added one. The first time you sign in, your account is made for you.

Sign in takes you to your Steddle account. Enter your email address there and ask for a link. The form makes way for a card that says where the link went. Signed in to your Steddle account already, you're back on Send NDA without a click.

  • The link is valid for 15 minutes and works once. A forwarded link can't sign anyone else in afterwards.
  • Opening it signs you in straight away. Mail scanners that open links to check them don't use it up.
  • Signed in as someone else? Opening the link asks whether to switch to the account it was sent for.
  • A link or a passkey keeps you signed in on that browser until you sign out.
  • You can ask for five links a minute from one address and IP address.

The link in an email about an NDA, and the one that confirms an NDA you sent from the home page, sign you in to Send NDA as well.

Passkeys

A passkey signs you in with your fingerprint, face or device PIN, without waiting for an email. Add one in your Steddle account, under Settings and then Manage your Steddle account, and give it a name so you can tell your devices apart. From then on, the sign-in page offers to sign in with it.

Your Steddle account stores only the public key of a passkey. You can remove one there at any time.

Which NDAs you see

Your dashboard lists every NDA you're a party to:

  • the ones you sent while signed in, from the dashboard or through an agent;
  • the ones sent from your email address through the public form, once you've confirmed that address;
  • the ones sent to your email address, once you've confirmed it;
  • your drafts, the NDAs you saved and haven't sent yet.

The NDAs waiting for your signature and your drafts come first, under Needs you.

Sending from your account

A new NDA has a page of its own, Send an NDA. It takes your name and email address from your account, fills in your company and address from the last NDA you sent or received, and sends without a confirmation email, because you're already signed in. Save as draft keeps the form as it stands, finished or not, on your dashboard, to pick up later. Amend, resend or delete covers what you can do with an NDA after it's gone out.
