# Double-entry Verification
The options is available as an advanced option for the following question types:
* TEXT
* NUMERIC
* PHONE
* TEXTBOX
When this option is enabled, the users will have to answer the same question twice and **both responses MUST match**. A common use case could be the user email address, social security number and so on. This validation is performed on the device directly therefore it will work both online and **offline** reducing the chances of collecting wrong data.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The comparison is case sensitive, i.e "John" and "john" do NOT match.
{% endhint %}
Let's see it in action: on the form below we enabled the option for a *"What is your email?"* question
When the users answer this question they will have to enter the email address twice to proceed.
