Direct Submission View: the option to secure the link by a password or set expiry

    Hi, is there an expiration on the submission link, and is there a way to password protect it, or could respondents view it perpetually? Just wondering about this, especially in the case of HIPAA-protected data, since wouldn't there then be a risk that someone could view all that protected health information if they just stumbled upon that link?

    No, the link does not expire, and no way you can have a password in it. The submission ID is impossible to guess, and for as long as the user won't share their information via that link, it should be safe. 

    I would also suggest not using this feature if you will enable HIPAA for your forms. Anyways, I understand your point, so I have escalated this matter to our backend team. We cannot give you an ETA for this, but if there are updates, you will be notified here.
