Why are forms with a password field in Webflow preventing form submission and displaying the message "Passwords cannot be submitted"?
Possible Reasons for "Passwords cannot be submitted" message in Webflow forms
There could be several reasons why a form with a password field in Webflow is preventing form submission and displaying the message "Passwords cannot be submitted". Here are a few possible reasons and solutions to resolve the issue:
Webflow password field requirements: By default, Webflow requires password fields to have certain criteria for security reasons, such as a minimum length. If the password field does not meet these requirements, it can prevent form submission. To fix this, you need to ensure that the password field meets the required criteria, such as minimum length, and any other specified password complexity rules.
Form validation or custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code or have form validation scripts on your Webflow project, they might interfere with the password field input and cause the error message to display. To troubleshoot this issue, try disabling any custom code related to form validation or debug any conflicting scripts. You can also try temporarily removing all custom code to see if it resolves the problem.
Browser autofill or password managers: Some browsers have built-in autofill features or password managers that may interfere with form submission. In some cases, these features can try to populate the password field automatically, even if you have not entered any value yourself. To solve this, you can try disabling the autofill feature or password manager in your browser settings or try using a different browser to see if the issue persists.
Form interactions or animations: If you have interactions or animations applied to the form or password field, they may conflict with the submission process. These interactions can prevent the password value from being passed correctly to the form submission. Check your interactions panel and remove or modify any interactions or animations that may be affecting the submission process.
Webflow form limitations: It is possible that the issue is caused by a limitation within Webflow itself. In such cases, you may need to reach out to Webflow support or visit their forum to seek assistance from the community. They can provide insights into any known limitations or issues regarding password fields in Webflow forms.
Remember to test the form after making changes to ensure that the issue is resolved. If you are still facing the problem, it may be worth considering reaching out to Webflow support for further assistance.
