Passwords cannot be submitted (November 16, 2024)

Design help User Accounts
1

Hey Webflow Community,

I’ve created a website on Webflow and set up a Sign-Up form. However, when I try to fill it out and click the “Sign Up” button, I receive the error: “Passwords cannot be submitted.”

I’m on the CMS plan, and I can see that I have 20,000 user accounts. Additionally, I have one account that has been fully activated, and one with “Inviting” status.

I’m not sure how I created these accounts previously, but one out of two is now fully activated.

I’ve already spent 4-5 hours trying to fix this issue using guides, YouTube, ChatGPT, and Webflow Forum topics related to the same problem — with no luck.

Here is my question:

  1. Does Webflow allow form submissions for user accounts on the CMS plan, or is there something extra I need to integrate?

Hi Stanislav,

Since you’ve only given a screenshot, this is just a guess- but it looks like you’ve probably used a Memberstack template or sign-up page, and you’re trying to make it work with Webflow’s native User Accounts ( WUA ).

They’re different.

  • WUA sign-ups & logins don’t support Google or Facebook OAuth2
  • WUA sign-up pages are always at /sign-up
  • The form construction is different, which would account for the error

You’ll need to pick a platform, and build for that.

Thank you!

I turned off Memberstack design. Now it works with basic Webflow Sign-Up page design.

If you’re seeing a “Passwords cannot be submitted” message, it typically indicates a restriction or error preventing password input in a specific field or situation. This could happen for various reasons:

Possible Causes

  1. Security Measures****:
  • The site or app might block password fields for security reasons, especially on pages not meant for password entry.
  • It could be part of a Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent phishing attacks.
  1. Technical Glitches:
  • JavaScript or other scripts might malfunction, disabling form fields unintentionally.
  • Browser extensions or settings could interfere with the field’s functionality.
  1. Improper Context:
  • You’re attempting to enter a password in an unintended field, like a username or other input box.
  1. Read-Only Input:
  • The password field may be disabled, either intentionally or due to a server-side issue.
  1. Form Blocking by External Tools:
  • Some autofill tools or password managers may prevent submission if they detect potential security risks.
