What is this?

Secure forms use HTTPS, CSRF tokens, autocomplete hints, and server-side validation.

Why should you care?

MarkupVerse wire transfers post over TLS with anti-CSRF and no password in URL.

What happened?

  • POST sensitive actions.
  • Hidden CSRF token.
  • autocomplete off on sensitive fields.
  • pattern is UX hint only — validate server-side.

Practice next

  1. Use method=post to HTTPS.
  2. Add hidden csrf field.
  3. pattern + required on IBAN.
  4. Add autocomplete="one-time-code" for OTP field.
  5. Use formnovalidate only on draft save.

Remember

HTTPS POST. CSRF token. Server validates all fields.

MarkupVerse wire form

Customer submits ₹50k wire.

Outcome: TLS + CSRF protect the transfer request.
