I checked some forums but wasn't able to find out if this was possible:

Create a login screen in Captivate, linked to username/password combinations that I have entered before...

If possible, could you give me a hint on how to accomplish that?

All the best!

Oh, so if I'd just hand out passwords, that would be fine too... as long as I can find out who's got what amount of points... I just want to make sure people are doing the quiz one time...

@Lilybiri: No, it's supposed to be a standalone thing at the moment...
