form and security - pws - 04-09-2020

Hello,
what's the difference between using form helper and build normal html form? 
How i can secure more my form?
THe request->getVar() is enoufgh for security?

CSRF protection are automatically added.

No, getVar have nothing to do with security. You need to use validation filtering, only accepting the types of data as you want.
You only want numbers? Only accept them.
A-Z? Just accept them, no numbers, no <> etc.
