Responding While Logged InPro
Respondents don't need a Walla account. They can start responding by entering a password shared in advance, or a verification code sent to their email address or phone number.
Password protection
- Turn on password protection and set a password, and respondents must enter that pre-shared password (a single shared password only) to reach the form.

- The message appears in this position.
Limiting to one response per verified user
- Verification alone still lets the same person respond multiple times. To limit each person to a single response, also turn on
Once per verified userin theDuplicate responsessection. - Responses are then limited to one per verified email address and phone number.
- See Preventing Duplicate Responses for more.
Good to know
If you turn on Once per verified user without a verification method, email verification is turned on with it. Conversely, turning off User verification also turns off Once per verified user. If you've toggled verification settings off and on, double-check that the duplicate limit hasn't been released.
