I would like to post a link to one of my forms on the public side of our website. There will be some "confidential information" in the form. I was wondering if I can password protect the form and limit access to it.
Unfortunately I cannot add the form to the private side of the website, so I am hoping I can put a password on the form.
Thank you!!!

UPDATE (August 20, 2019): Password protection feature is available now.
Here is how it works:
1. Open the Form Builder and find the Enable Password Protection option under the Settings tab.
2. If you select this option, you should set a password for the form. If you don't set any password, the Enable Password Protection option will be unselected.
3. When you set a password for the form, a person who wants to open the form will see this page:
4. If the person enters the incorrect password, s/he cannot open the form and will see this warning:
5. If the person enters the correct password, s/he can open the form and submit it. However, if you (form owner) change the password after s/he opened the form, s/he cannot submit the form and will see this warning:
6. You can reset the password by clicking on the RESET PASSWORD button or unchecking the Enable Password Protection option.
You can add an access code field in your form and set up a condition that will hide the fields if the inputted value in the access code field is incorrect\. Here is a sample form that you can check: https://form.jotformpro.com/70934195088970. You can clone the form to have a closer look on the setup. To clone a form you can check this article: How to Clone an Existing Form from a URL.
Do let us know if you need further assistance.
