Password protect submission of a form

Ron 04 Mar, 2017
Hello

I have gone through the forum and found many threads on this topic but nothing seems to work for me. I would like to password protect a form submission. I am using the V5 of Chronoforms and all the threads I have seen are very old.

Could I be guided to the right direction.

Thanks

Hi Ronn,

The simplest way would be to limit access to logged-in registered users. You can do that with the Authenticator action.

Thanks for the reply Bob.

My site is limited to registered users only no public view is possible. But I would like to password protect a form that only a few users can submit.

I am also using the Authenticator action as a security but now I would like to have and additional password required for one of the forms that only a few registered users who have the password can submit,

Thanks and best wishes

Hi Ron,

You can create a new User group for just those users and limit form access to that group.

Much simpler than using a separate password.

Thanks for the suggestion Bob,

I have that already in place the problem is that one username has a few people logging in like in an office. there are a few forms that I would like to limit to only a few people who know the password.

Any suggestion about it please.

Thanks again

Hi Ronn,

Two solutions, the simplest is just to add the password input to the existing form then use an Event Switcher in the form ON Submit event to check it. That does let all users see the form though, if that is a problem then use a multi-page form with just the password input and a submit button on the first page and check that with an Event Switcher on the second page.
