Password-protect a form

If you are building a form containing sensitive information that you don't want to be publicly accessible, it would be great to have a password-protected solution

Password protected forms are here! Add an extra layer of security to your forms by enabling password protection. When activated, respondents must enter the correct password before accessing the form content. Learn more: https://tally.so/help/password-protect-forms

This feature is now planned on our roadmap: https://tally.so/roadmap

or create a prefilled page, and allow next page only if the text in it matches the password.

Love it

This would be a game changer for me too. My clients are essentially paying for access to these tally forms and I want some way to limit form access to paying customers. I'm currently embedding the forms in a membership site, but it's a bit clunky...

Also useful when you want to give the form to a small sample of people first so to test if it's done right and get general feedback (language proofreading, are questions relevant, are some questions missing, etc.) before you do the big release. For now sharing the link with a small sample of people just like you'd share the password with a small sample of people seems the best approach, assuming the URL is long enough. I'd also need to enable some "beta mode" where I collect no actual results from the form while having it proofread. I suppose the best is to tell people not to click the last Submit step, and if they do to clear the results (not sure how to do this yet) before making the form officially public. EDIT: found the trick: see https://tally.so/help/conditional-form-logic#013e2f6c81bb45d… on how to disable the submit button. Then you just add a dummy condition that is always true, and as effect "Hide button to disable completion" so proofreaders cannot submit by accident! (of course it doesn't help with sensitive information, only with the case of beta form for proofreading)

Here again, ran into this issue again today and it would appear I've already upvoted at some point at the past but now am commenting because I would upvote this twice if I could.

We are looking at using tally for getting feedback from our retail partners from within a login-only portal. However, the forms are available publicly on the internet so this is most likely a no-no for us. Very very sad!!

If you embed the form on your own website, you can just password protect that page.

As of today, this can be circumvented by a user knowing the tally form url. This url is exposed in the embed code. Tally forms are all public so the protection would need to be done in the form itself.

100% this is needed. Currently using conditional logic but it warns people to not submit passwords... can be misleading as this 'password' is needed to continue in the form.

I see a competitor form builder with a "login form" where you enter the email and it sends a code to the email to access the form. SSO or Firebase/Supabase oAuth provisions would be nice too but let's be patient :D sure these guys know how to dominate the market.

you could just ask for a short answer on the first page of the form to be able to continu to the next page where your form questions begin for exemple when "short answer" contain or is "correct answer" jump to page "next"

Qrad Tech: This is what we are currently doing. And thanks to the new "Hide submit button" option it is simpler, and avoids people submiting.

Hi everyone, I was facing the same challenge on a client’s project and have used my own solution for this since then. Basically, I am using the code injection to create a popup modal with an input field and submit button. On submit the server checks if the password is correct. If not -> error message If correct -> remove modal Maybe there are ways around this for people who know a lot about coding but I assume this helps for most of the use cases https://www.loom.com/share/0e82b3835a6d4fbbb618a1112e029489?… Sharing this in case you want to solve this for yourself but would also be happy to implement this completely as a paid project. Feel free to contact me https://tally.so/experts#ab9f437caac64b8ab68fee397ff2ad78

Great-idea! As-long-as-it's-free

Jul 6, 2023

Mr. Cheese: although it would be very nice that it was free, we shouldn't be entitled about it being free per se. Tally already provides us with so much without paying.

That would be very handy. At the moment I'm going through short.io
