How to Manage Authentication in Voteer

Table of contents

Voteer offers flexible and secure authentication options to verify voters’ identity while maintaining a smooth voting experience. The organizer can choose between single, double, or triple authentication levels depending on the required security.

How to Access Authentication Settings

  1. Go to your ballot
  2. Click on Configurations in the left menu
  3. Scroll down to the Authentication section

Authentication Methods

1. Voter Code (Identifier)

This is the minimum required authentication.

  • Each voter receives a unique random code generated by the platform (Voter Code).
  • Voters must enter this code to access the scrutiny.
  • This method is always active.
2. One-Time Password (OTP) – Single Use Password
  • Enabled: The organizer can choose to send a one-time password by SMS or Email.
  • Disabled: No OTP is required.

This adds a strong second layer of security, especially recommended for important votes.

3. Secret Question
  • Enabled: The organizer defines a secret question. Each voter must provide the correct answer.
  • Disabled: No secret question is asked.

Important: For the secret question to work, the answer for each voter must be pre-imported into the platform.

Tip: We recommend asking questions with numerical answers (ex: year of birth, postal code, number of children, etc.) to avoid typing errors and make the authentication process smoother.

Authentication Levels

Voteer allows you to combine these methods:

  • Single Authentication:  Voter Code only
  • Double Authentication:  Voter Code + OTP or Voter Code + Secret Question
  • Triple Authentication:  Voter Code + OTP + Secret Question
