Some of the key capabilities of Forms include:

* A controlled and secure experience within your tenant's domain. No need to [Redirect](/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers/signup-and-login-triggers/login-trigger/redirect-with-actions) users to external sites.
* Pre-built components with frontend and backend validations.
* Custom business logic with out-of-the-box integrations with third parties.
* Consistent branding experience with <Tooltip tip="Universal Login: Your application redirects to Universal Login, hosted on Auth0's Authorization Server, to verify a user's identity." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Universal+Login">Universal Login</Tooltip>.

## Forms use cases

Using Forms enables you to build use cases like:

* **[Progressive profiling](/docs/manage-users/user-accounts/user-profiles/progressive-profiling):** Define a set of conditions to require users to complete additional information as they engage with your product. For example, when users login for a third-time, you can require them to complete their profile.
* **Custom policies acceptance:** If you need to update your policies, you can define logic to check if users have accepted the latest policies, and depending on that, display a custom form to users requiring acceptance.
* **Custom signup or login steps:** Extend and customize your flows with additional steps and custom logic. For example, you can verify [email](/docs/authenticate/passwordless/authentication-methods/email-otp) or [phone numbers](/docs/authenticate/passwordless/authentication-methods/sms-otp) with OTP and account linking, or verify payment details with Stripe, and more.
