You don't use the username and password, when the user logs in you generate a code from the userID and sessionID or something like that so that the code will one work during the session.

Then expire the session after a certain amount of time of inactivity so that noone else can use it even if they found the link.  If someone followed the link it would simply say "Session Expired, Please Login Again" or something like that.

Still wouldn't work as with classic ASP you need to have cookies enabled on the users browser for sessions to work.

If cookies are not enabled a new session is started for each hit on the server from that persons browser thus creating a new session ID each time and loosing any data from teh session held for that user.
