  I totally don't agree with your approach to the survey, unless
you've already gotten the people's permission.

  It all depends on how you're coding the survey. If you're using
standard HTTP authentication, you can do something like this:

http://username:passowrd@www.host.com/

  You might want to check that it works for all browsers, but I've had
luck with it. Otherwise, you could always just create a custom key/URL
for each person, and give them a URL to a CGI with that key as an argument.
