- Start on the home page at `/`. Account login and registration exist as vendor flows and are not explained field by field on this FAQ page.
- Set German or English via the language control (`?lang=de` or `?lang=en`); the chosen language remains in the session.
- Contact form at `/contact`: Name (sender label), Email (reply channel), Subject (short label for the request), Message (request text with a functional minimum length), spam-protection answer (math challenge against bots; solution only in the session). Invisible honeypot is for bot protection only, not for human input.
- Global feedback widget: a short free-text field for brief notes; not a substitute for the contact form with required fields and spam protection.
- User preferences at `/user-preferences` (signed-in only): first name and last name for profile upkeep; email read-only; optional current password, new password and password confirmation for password change while signed in (not a forgot-password flow).
- Legal information via imprint `/imprint`, terms `/terms` and privacy `/privacy`.
- There is no website search and no filter feature.

How the forms work
Frequently asked questions about form fields
What is zeittool.com?
zeittool.com is an entry-level reference web application in German and English with a home page, account area, contact and legal companion pages. This FAQ mainly explains the functional meaning of form fields; login, registration and forgot-password forms are not described field by field here.
Which fields does the contact form have and what are they for?
At `/contact` there are Name (who sends the request), Email (reply channel), Subject (short label), Message (request text) and the spam-protection answer (math challenge against bots). An invisible honeypot field is for bot protection only and not for human input.
What does the Name field in the contact form mean functionally?
Name is the sender label of the contact request. It is required and appears in the message sent to the operator so the request can be attributed to a person.
What do Email, Subject and Message mean in the contact form?
Email is the reply channel and must have a valid format. Subject briefly labels the request. Message contains the actual request text and has a functional minimum length.
What is the spam-protection answer in the contact form for?
The spam-protection answer is a simple math challenge. It helps prevent automated submissions. The correct solution exists only server-side in the session and does not appear in the HTML.
Which fields do user preferences have?
At `/user-preferences` (signed-in only), first name and last name are editable for profile upkeep. Email is shown read-only. Optionally, current password, new password and password confirmation can be used for a password change while signed in. That is not a forgot-password form.
Is there a search or filter on the website?
No. This demo has no website search and no filter feature.
Where are imprint, terms and privacy found?
Imprint at `/imprint`, terms at `/terms` and privacy at `/privacy`. The pages are publicly available.
