Register Form

This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

Register forms are account creation forms with username, email, and password. To maintain the quality of the data, the username column can use a certain character pattern and the password is given a power cue. Username availability and account security checks must be maintained on the server.

Key points

The pattern attribute limits the user name format on the client side.
The password strength indicator helps users choose better passwords.
The availability of usernames should be checked on the server, not just the browser.
Autocomplete="new-password" helps the password manager create a new password.
Rate limiting and CAPTCHA help prevent mass registration by bots.
