Can I activate a Log-In requirement for signatures with my Mail Adress?

Question

The problem is as follows:

I want to guarentee, that signatures from my account/using my Mail Adress can only be done when logged in.
I’ve seen that the sender of an envelope can add this requirement and this usually works well.

However a lot of the senders have troubles implementing this requirement.
In these cases, there is just a link to my inbox and when I click it, I can sign without any further requirements.
This has raised a lot of security concers due to the different acesses to the inboxes and the data management systems at my institution.

One the one hand, anyone with the link could sign the document; on the other hand, there would be no way to assure that the signature was set by the right person if this is debated in the future.

Is there a way to “lock” my account/ Mail Adress in a way that signatures can only be done after logging in? Even when the sender-settings don’t require this

Thank you very much in advance
