# Sync data securely with login forms

> Use Fillout login forms to securely update database records.

## How it works

You can let others update your Zite database securely using a [Fillout login form](https://www.fillout.com/help/login-page). Instead of giving direct access to your tables, users must log in with their email, password, or SSO to access the form. Once logged in, they can [create new records](https://www.fillout.com/help/sync-form-results#link-your-form-to-a-zite-database) or [edit existing ones](https://www.fillout.com/help/update-with-forms#enable-record-updates), and their responses will automatically update your database.

<Note>
  Before you start, you'll need a Fillout form with a login page. See details [here](https://www.fillout.com/help/login-page).
</Note>
