Password protection

You don’t need to worry about unauthorized access to your forms or surveys anymore. With password protection, you can secure any form in seconds using a simple password. Whether it’s a private survey, exclusive content, or sensitive client data, only the people you authorize will be able to access and submit your forms.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how password protection works, why it matters, and exactly how to set it up so you can keep your forms safe and professional.

Why Use Password Protection on Forms

Password protection adds a secure login page before your form or survey. Only respondents with the correct code can access the form. This is especially useful for:

Private surveys for employees or research participants
Exclusive content or premium offers for members or clients
Sensitive data collection, including medical, legal, or financial records
Client onboarding forms containing confidential information
Internal audits or confidential feedback within organizations

With a password, you control who can view and submit your forms, keeping your data private and professional.

Log in to your dashboard.
Click Create Form and start a new form.
To save time, use the AI form builder, which automatically generates a professional form structure.

Step 2: Customize Your Form

Adjust the design to match your brand.
Enable features like conditional logic, notifications, or automated responses to make your form smarter.

Hover over the Add Page button in the bottom left corner.
Select Login Page.
This page will now appear before all other pages in your form.

Step 4: Set the Password

Click on the login page element to open General Properties.
Customize the labels and description.
Click Set Password and enter your code.

Security Notes:

The password is never stored in Formester’s database.
Only the admin can create or update the password.
If you forget it, return to the form, set a new password, and publish—changes take effect immediately.

Once the password is set, click Publish.
Share the form link with your authorized respondents.
Only users with the correct password can access and submit the form.

Managing Submissions and Analytics

After collecting responses, go to the Results tab to view all submissions and analytics. You’ll be able to:

Control submissions, preventing unauthorized access
Avoid duplicate entries and spam
Collect information securely and professionally
