Email / Password (Respondent Login | Individual Password) - How to?
How can I set up security on the survey so that respondents have to enter their email address and password to access the survey?
Global Password protection offers you limited security as respondents may share the password with others. For higher security, you can enable Email Address / Password validation on the Survey. Respondents will have to enter their Email Address along with the individual password for the survey in order to access it.
How to set this up?
Step 1: Create New Email List
Go To:
- Login » Surveys » Send Survey » Manage Email Lists
