MachForm 20 Released. Require Form Users to Login with OTP.

Howdy, folks! 🙂

Ever needed to create private forms that collect sensitive information and allow access only to a specific list of users? Now, you can easily do this with MachForm v20!

 

 

In addition to the existing functionality that lets you set a password for your forms, you can now specify a list of users (using their email) to restrict access to your form.

 

 

Any user attempting to access the form will be required to log in before they can view and submit it. Users will be prompted to log in using their email and a one-time password (OTP) sent to their email.

 

 

Combine this new functionality with the “Data Encryption” feature on your form, and you’ll have very secure forms built in minutes!

The new version of MachForm (version 20) is now available for download on Billing Area.

PHP & MySQL Version Requirement

MachForm v20 requires the minimum version of PHP on your server to be at least PHP 7.4 and MySQL version at least MySQL 5.7. If you’re still using older version, you’ll need to upgrade your PHP and/or MySQL version first.

We strongly recommend upgrading due to improved compatibility and bugfixes within this release.
