Benefits of DigiCert EV Code Signing Certificate

By mentioning the publisher, installation warnings can be decreased, providing users with more assurance and trust when they download software.
Two-Factor Authentication
With a USB token, log in with two-factor authentication (2FA) and manage to sign in with authorized-only HSM certificate keys.
