Splitting sign-up form over several pages
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 5:26 pm
Hello everyone,
I’m looking to increase my website’s sign up rate by splitting the rather long sign-up form into 3 short forms spread over 3 pages – the user would then fills out each form and progresses to the next (like the linkedin.com sign up process).
Please could you tell me how I should store the variables as my users move from one form to the next, whilst avoiding any hacking vulnerabilities? – I thought of using session variables but someone told me to never store passwords in a session variable? (one of the form fields is for a user to fill in a password).
Thanks for any help you can give!
