Honeypot Field Snippet
Copy HTML for a hidden anti-spam honeypot field. Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Formsig.
On the server, reject submissions where this field is non-empty.
About this tool
Generate a copy-ready honeypot field snippet for HTML forms. Bots often fill every input. Humans should not see or fill this field. Pair it with a real form backend such as Formsig for stronger spam controls.
Features
- Hidden or visually off-screen honeypot markup
- Configurable field name
- Copy HTML in one click
- Notes on how to reject submissions when the field is filled
Common use cases

How it works
Choose a field name and visibility style, then copy the HTML into your form. On the server, reject posts where the honeypot value is non-empty.
Privacy: this utility runs in your browser. Formsig serves the page but does not need your input to compute results.

FAQ
Is a honeypot enough against all spam?
No. It stops many naive bots but not all. Use it with rate limits, Formsig spam controls, and review queues when volume matters.
Does Formsig require this exact field?
No. This is a generic HTML helper. Configure spam settings in your Formsig dashboard separately.
