OTP (One-Time Password) verification is a security feature that helps protect your forms from unauthorized access.
It ensures that only users with valid email addresses can submit the form by sending them a unique verification code.
When a user enters their email, they receive a one-time code in their inbox, which they must enter into the form to proceed. This adds an extra layer of security to your form.
To enable email OTP verification in your form, follow these steps:
1. Open your form editor
Navigate to the Form Editor in your Formaloo dashboard.
Select the form where you want to add OTP verification.
2. Add the "Email Verification" field
Click on Add a new field and select Email Verification from the list.
This field automatically enables OTP functionality, sending a verification code to the user's email.
3. Customize the OTP field settings
After adding the field, you can configure the following settings:
Required (Optional): Enable this option to make email verification mandatory before form submission.
Make this field Admin-only (Optional): Restrict access to this field for users and allow only admins to edit or view it.
Unique (Optional): Prevent duplicate email submissions by ensuring each email is used only once per form entry.
Acceptable Answers (Optional): Define specific email domains or addresses that are allowed for verification.
ID: Assign a custom field ID if needed.
How OTP works in the form
When a user enters their email in the Email Verification field, a unique OTP is sent to their inbox.
The user must enter the received OTP in the form to proceed.
If the code is correct, the form submission continues; otherwise, the user must re-enter the correct code.
Ensure form security with OTP
Using OTP verification prevents spam and ensures that only real users with valid email addresses can submit your form. This is especially useful for:
Secure sign-ups and registrations.
Preventing fake or multiple submissions.
Authenticating users before granting access to specific content.
Now your form is protected with OTP email verification, ensuring secure and valid responses!
