e-sign

Approve without ink

E-sign means to sign a document electronically rather than with a handwritten signature.

The verb covers various methods—clicking an "I agree" button, typing your name, or using a stylus to draw a signature on a screen: I e-signed the lease from my phone.

E-signature is the noun form.
