How to Create a Jotform Account and Password: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

If you need to make an online form, gather data, apply a survey, or control registration, creating a Jotform account is beneficial. Jotform is a cloud-based form builder software tool that enables people to build forms without the need for advanced coding.

If you’re new to Jotform, you might have questions about how to register, where to set your password and what if you forgot your login details. This guide will outline each step in a simple way, even how to create a secure password and access your account.

What Is Jotform?

Jotform is an online form creation and management tool. It can be used by anyone, including individuals, businesses, schools and organisations, to gather information from people online.

For instance, you can have a contact form on your website, a registration form for an event, a customer feedback survey or a questionnaire for a project.

The site has a form builder which will enable the user to add questions and fields, to customise the look of the form and to share it with others.

Step 1: Visit the Official Jotform Website

Login to the Official Jotform Website.

Create your account using your phone, tablet or computer to open your web browser.

Click on the official website:

Jotform website: https://www.jotform.com/

After logging in, check for a sign-up section on the website. If you get to a log in screen, click on the link to create new account.

Please be aware that you are entering your personal data on the official Jotform’s website.

Step 2: Select how you would like to register.

Jotform offers a variety of logon and login possibilities. You can register using your email address on the registration page, or you can use a supported account (Google, for example).

If you opt for email registration, please provide an email address that will be able to receive it.

Your active e-mail account is necessary as this may be used to verify your account and you might need to use it to regain access should you forget your password or receive service notifications.

Follow the instructions on the screen if you select a third party sign-in method.

Step 3: Make Your Jotform Password

If you sign up via email, you may be requested to set a password for your new account.

Your password is used to help protect your account from unauthorised access. The goal should be it’s in an area that’s hard to guess, but easy to secure for you.

As you make a password, you should keep these tips in mind:

Make sure you use a lengthy password that cannot be easily guessed.
Use upper and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols when appropriate.
Avoid using your name, date of birth or other easily guessed information.
Avoid entering the same password as in your email or bank account.
If you have trouble remembering your password, use a secure password manager!

If you want to come up with a different passphrase, you could use a series of random words that have nothing to do with each other, and then include numbers or symbols. Avoid the use of a password that you have given out in the public domain.

If there are a set of password requirements on the registration page, follow them. These needs are more important than general guidance.

Step 4: Complete the Registration Process

Once you’ve entered the information and set up a password, check the information you entered.

If you agree to the terms and conditions, click on the sign-up button to proceed.

Jotform might require you to confirm your email address or take other security measures, depending on how it does its verification procedure.

If you get a verification e-mail, open it and check out what they say. If it’s not in your inbox, please check your spam/junk folder.

After registration, click on the instructions to log into your account.

Step 5: Log In to Your Jotform Account

Once you have created your account, you will be able to access Jotform at any time to create or manage your forms.

Follow these steps:

• Access the Jotform login page.
• Enter your email address/username.
• Enter your password.
• Click on the Sign In link.
• If there are any further instructions for security, follow them.

If the log in information is correct, you should be able to log in and start using your forms.

Where applicable, use the login option that you originally registered with (Google, or other supported login provider).

Step 6: If You Forgot Your Jotform Password, What to Do

If you forget a password, you don’t necessarily have to register an additional account.

If you can’t remember your login information, Jotform has a password recovery process.

To change your password:

Go to the Jotform login page.
Click on “Forgot password?”.
Please type in the email address or username listed with your account, as specified.
Use the password recovery information.
Look in your e-mail for a password reset confirmation.
Click on the reset link and follow the directions to generate a new password.

If you don’t see the recovery email, make sure you typed in the correct email address and check your spam or junk folder.

For more detailed instructions please refer to the official Jotform password reset guide.

Never give out a reset password or verification code to another person.

Step 7: How to Create Your First Online Form

Once you log in, you can start on your first form.

Jotform offers tools you can use to create a new form or use a template.

If you would like to have a contact form for your website, you may want to include the following fields:

• Full name
• Email address
• Subject
• Message

You can customize the form, change the order of the fields and see how it will look before publishing.

Once your form is ready to share, you can share the form link or embed your form into a compatible website, via Jotform’s sharing options.

You can find further instructions in the official Jotform getting started guide.

Step 8: Protect Your Account

If your forms ask customers, students or others for personal information, security is an important factor to consider.

Do not use the same password everywhere and don’t give out your login information. If there are other security features that Jotform has to offer and that would be suitable for your account, check them out and turn the ones on that you need.

Do not log on via suspicious links from unrecognized individuals. Rather, enter the official website address into your browser or use a safe bookmark.

When using a shared computer, log out when finished and do not save any passwords on the computers.

You should also check what data you have been gathering on your forms and not ask for personal information unless there is a “reasonable expectation of privacy” and “reasonable safeguards.

If you encounter issues while creating a Jotform password, here are some common problems you can expect.
