Account fields

Sign people up for an account on your site, let them sign in, and let them reset a forgotten password, all with forms in your own style.

In the plugin: Echo Forms > Forms > a form > Build > Add fields > Echo fields

Three fields that work with WordPress accounts, so a members area, a course or a client portal can have sign-up and sign-in forms that look like the rest of your site.

Signature

Registration, login and password reset come with Echo Forms Signature.

Registration

Signature

Makes a WordPress account when the form is sent. It asks for a Username 1, an Email 2 and a Password (min. 8 characters) 3, alongside whatever else your form asks.

  • New account role: the WordPress role the new account gets, such as Subscriber or Customer.
  • Sign the visitor in automatically after their account is created: they arrive signed in, ready to use the members area.

The entry is saved like any other, so a welcome email can go out from its notifications.

Login

Signature

A sign-in form: Username or email, Password and Keep me signed in. Someone already signed in sees You are signed in as … with Sign out.

SettingWhat it does
After signing in, go toAn address on this site. Left blank, they return to The page they signed in on.
Show a “Forgot your password?” linkAdds the link under the form.
Reset pageWhere that link goes: WordPress’s own reset page, or a page holding your own password reset form.

Signing in is never saved as an entry. Five wrong tries from one place make it wait ten minutes (Too many tries. Please wait a few minutes, then try again.).

Password reset

Signature

A box for Your username or email address. WordPress emails a link to set a new password. The form always answers If an account matches, we have sent a link to reset its password, so nobody can use it to find out which addresses have accounts. Requests are not saved as entries.

Tip

Put the login form and the password reset form on two pages of their own, then set the login form’s Reset page to the second one.
