Password protect form?

Hi!

I want to use Jotform to run a contest, and wnder if it's possible to password protect a form?

- Hilde :)

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.

Hi Hilde,

I assume you meant you just want to add password/access code to access section/elements of your form. You can refer to this similar discussion thread for guide.

https://www.jotform.com/answers/1370112-How-to-set-a-password-for-my-form

But do take note that this method is not securing the form. Any person with understanding on how to read source code can figure out what is the password/access code of the form.

To make your form secure you can refer to this article: JotForm Secure Online Forms

I hope this help. Let us know if you require further assistance.
