Hi David

Use a custom property set in the stackfile to store username,passkey pairs.
Then do this in the preOpenStack handler:

-- tPath = path to stack file
put the customKeys["cUsers"] of stack tPath into btn "popup"

Then when the user has entered the password and clicked OK:

-- tUser = username
-- tPassword = entered password
if the cUsers[tUser] of stack tPath <> tPassword then
  -- try again
end if

If you want live update the users list you could have a button that replaces
the users stack:

delete stack tPath
put url "http://yourdomain/users.rev" into url ("binfile:"&tPath)
put the customKeys["cUsers"] of stack tPath into btn "popup"

Cheers
