add digital signature

I ask that you please add the digital signature to the application-forms, as one of the options to add a literal return, list selection, etc. The plug-in is necessary for ongoing administrative forms of schools which parents must sign. I know that digital signature application technology is known to Microsoft. Would change to be implemented in the coming days to the schools who have organizational 365 system can promote its use.

    I have to look at another Forms solution because MS lacks this functionality

    Can you please add this feature for signature capture just like when you sign (or used to) for a parcel.

    It would be ideal to be able to use digital signing certificates stored on USB security tokens, e.g. GlobalSign or Digicert signing certificates stored on Safenet tokens to simplify the digital signing of Forms. We currently digitally sign Adobe PDF documents using this method but it would be great to use this method within Microsoft Forms especially in daily recurring forms that we utilize for checklists.

    The amazing features and functionality of this program are completely useless without requiring a signature. We live in a world now where obtaining physical signatures is potentially life-threatening for some. My hope is that Microsoft considers the health and safety of its customers during the current pandemic and adapts to HELP the current situation, rather than continuing with the status quo as nothing has changed. Please be a leader and add an e-signature function, so I am not forced to risk my health and others to obtain a physical (wet) signature.

    Yes, pleases add digital signatures to the Forms application. Also allow for multiple signatures and for signatures to be added in multiple places within the form. This is a needed functionality since the majority of forms created require the recipient(s) to sign it for authorization and acknowledgment in more than one place.

    This basic functionality is a must. As mentioned numerous times by others - this is a compliance and regulatory requirement for many forms now.

    Yes, it's a pain having to make forms in word, then export to pdf, then create form from the pdf. If word forms could just be signed it would save a lot of messing around.
