Wix Site Members: About the Member Signup and Login Forms

Note:

This article refers to the new version of the member signup and login forms.

The Member Authentication app includes the pages and popups your visitors and members see during signup, login, email confirmation, and password recovery. These screens help people complete important access and security steps on your site.

Help visitors join and return

The signup form lets visitors create a member account, and the login form lets existing members access members-only areas again. Members can sign up or log in with their email and password. You can also let them continue with a social account such as Google or Facebook.

Both forms open as popups on your live site, so people can complete the action without leaving the page they are viewing.

Match the forms to your site’s design

The signup and login forms use your site’s design as a starting point, and you can customize them further to suit your brand. Update elements such as the layout, colors, fonts, title, and subtitle to create a more consistent member experience.

You can customize the text and design of each one, including Access Restricted, Pending Approval, Email Confirmation, Reset Password, Create New Password, and Expired Reset Link.

You only need to customize the design once, and the changes apply to both the signup and login forms. You can still choose different fields and options for each form. For example, your signup form can include a birthday field, while your login form can show only a 'Sign in with Google' button.

Learn how to manage the content and settings of your signup and login forms

Collect the right details when someone signs up

You can choose which fields appear on the signup form so new members provide the information that matters to your business. This helps you keep registration simple while still collecting the details you need.

The signup form also includes a privacy notice when someone registers. By default, it explains that their profile is public and that they can change this later in their profile settings.

You can add your terms of use and privacy policy to the signup form and decide how the consent message appears. You can show it as a checkbox that people must select, or as a note below the form.

Protect your site and control access

You can add Google reCAPTCHA to the signup and login forms to help reduce spam registrations and automated login attempts. You can also manage broader signup settings, such as who can become a member, default profile privacy, and site access rules.

These settings are managed from the Site Member Settings and Manage Member Access pages, giving you more control over how people join and use your members area.
