Login / protection questions

Can I protect multiple web pages with only one account?
Yes you can protect multiple pages if they're linked to the main member's 'entrance' page. You can also specify personal login URL to each member.

How can I setup different login URLs for different members?
You can go to 'Members' section of your account manager and there you can set different URLs for different members.

How can I protect my member's pages from being bookmarked and accessed without login first?
In order to protect a page from being accessed without login you should insert JavaScript 'page protection' code. You should insert this code in all pages you want to protect. You can find this code in your account manager ('Member's page protection code' link)

I'm using page protection code on my member's page and I'm receiving complaints from my members that they can't login using their login and password.
In order to login to member's area protected with page protection code cookies must be enabled in the browser. Also there may be an issue with very strict privacy settings in IE 6.0 resulting in not accepted third-party cookies. To solve it, enable IP authorization in your page protection settings.

I've added page protection code but it's still possible to bookmark the password protected page. Did I forget anything?
Yes it can be bookmarked but this bookmark will not work in next browser session without login.

I've added page protection code but I can still access the pages without being asked for login and password.
If you have logged in you can access protected page until you restart your browser or, if you have enabled IP authorization in your page protection settings, until your session expires. To close your session immediately you need to leave members area using 'Logout' link.

Can you explain how the "Also allow logins from account" feature works?
This can be used if you want members of one account (A) to access members area protected with protection code from another account (B). In this case in account B settings check "Also allow logins from account A"

When I try to enter my member's username and password I get the following error message: "404 Not Found."
Make sure you have properly setup your member's area URL on the 'Settings' and/or 'Members' pages. It must be in form:
'http://your-server.com/members/area.html'.
Please note that it must start with 'http://' prefix.

When I logged in to my members area, it displayed authpro URL in browser address bar, I thought it would show my website address.
If you want to display URL of your website in address bar, set 'Hide URL' option to 'no hide' in your login settings.

Member registration questions

When members sign up to a membership in my account what will be the address of the page they will go to?
Default successful and failed login URLs will be assigned to new members. You can set them in your account manager on the 'Settings' page. On the 'Members' page of your account manager you can set custom URLs for each member if you want.

Can I use your service without the registration and cancellation features?
Yes you can disable both registration and cancellation pages and manage your members manually using your account manager.

Can I collect money from my members using your service?
We can't collect payments for you but you may setup third-party processing services integration, such as PayPal, Stripe or any other one listed in our supported membership payments processing companies list.

Is my registration form encrypted? Can I use it to receive credit card numbers?
No, AuthPro registration page is not encrypted by default, but you can use it in SSL mode if you want. You should use PCI compliant payment processing company to collect billing information from your customers. AuthPro does not provide payment processing services.

How can I send registration form results to multiple email addresses?
You can separate multiple emails by commas like "email1@email.com, email2@email.com"

How can I add extra fields to the registration form?
You can add more fields to registration form using setup wizard or by editing html code for registration form on Design page. If you not sure how to do this, please send us list of fields you want to add we'll update your registration form. If you have deluxe account, you can copy html form template ('Account' page, registration form [HTML] link) and edit it as you want and add more fields to collect additional information from your members.

What is the difference between "New member" and "Verified member"?
When new members added to database they are got 'not verified' status which means they take default settings for 'new members'. You can keep them 'not verified' or change to 'verified', and they will take default settings for 'verified members'. You can change them to 'verified' from your account manager or link on your new member notification email ("admin approve", see setup tips, p.4) or you can email verification link to them then they register (this can be used to verify that they have entered valid email address, see setup tips, p.3). You can configure default settings for new and verified members on 'Settings' page of your account manager.

Yes, now we support importing member's databases for deluxe account. Go to your account manager, member's editor and click on 'Import' link for more information.
