# Set recipient verification in the WebApp

## Introduction

How to set a recipient verification method? If you set an SMS code or access code for a recipient, only this recipient can read your message. This additional verification method ensures that only the intended recipient can access the message. To open your message, the recipient enters an SMS code or the agreed access code. The recipient can then open, read, and reply to your Zivver message.
