You do not "sign" an e-filed return.  You signed it electronically when you listed your 2016 AGI.  If you file it on paper and mail it, then you use a pen and sign it in ink.

Actually you do "sign" an e-filed return with a self selected pin that has the same legal status as a hand signed paper tax return.   The AGI just verifies your identification .
