"This form can't be shared because it violates our Terms of Use" error when sharing externally
Hi everyone,
Created a form with ten pre-interview questions for our IT department's next recruitment project. When I change the 'Send and collect responses' option from 'Only people in my organization can respond' to 'Anyone with the link can respond', I get an error "This form can't be shared because it violates our Terms of Use." There are no specifics on what violates the terms; can only assume it's a generic error.

Thanks!

Sorry about delayed reply but you have probably got the word 'password' on your form somewhere. Just had the same problem myself.

Please provide a list of words that trigger violations. Unless this is like fumbling in the dark.
Can an admin change this setting, or adjust the criteria/dictionary for triggering the warning?
Has anyone located an article that indicates the terms to stay away from to avoid Forms kicking this "violation of terms" message? I couldn't find anything around this in the Forms FAQ article.
I just ran into this issue as well... I do have the word "password" on the form, not asking for it, just referencing it. Anyway around this?
I had to put 'pword' in to get it to accept it. You could also try adding '***' in place of some letters. No other way round it I think.
Awesome, thanks. I'll give that a shot.

Yip, that's it! Thanks for the solution. I can see why (phishing) but would be good if it told you the reason.
