By adding an authenticator to your survey, you can require respondents to confirm their identity by logging in before they take the survey. This will allow you to use one general link for your survey while still collecting personalized responses. For information on how to use Authenticators please see the following Qualtrics Knowledge Base article: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/advanced-elements/authenticator/authenticator-overview/
