Progressive profiling is a feature that is an extension of dynamic form fields and allows you serve relative from fields while registration and after registration.

To get more data while registration, visitors are served with long registration form with mandatory and non-mandatory fields. Many times such registration form causes visitors to abandon the site or exclude non-mandatory fields, causing loss of a visitor or data.

What happens in progressive profiling is that user is served with minimalistic of questions at sign-up. As soon as email is validated and user simultaneously start to log-in, they are served with small set of input fields.
