OAuth or SSO to avoid duplicate surveys?

[alex_mayorga]

I run Firefox on at least 3 different machines, I've installed
testpilot on all machines and thus I'm getting asked to answer the
surveys on all systems.
I've tried to be careful not to answer the same survey more than once,
but this gave me an idea.
Testpilot should integrate with some of my already existing accounts
on either QA, Bugzilla, Add-Ons, etc. at least for surveys. I know
privacy it's important, but maybe this can be anonymized prior
processing or something, but IMHO this is key to get reliable survey
data points, right?

Another thing that might be even better, come up with some "single
sign-on" solution that's Mozilla wide maybe Mozilla should turn into
an OAuth provider as I already trust the organization with most if not
all of my "online being"

My 2¢

At least start every survey with a "Have you taken this survey
already?" question.
I'm pretty sure I've already answered the "Accounts and Passwords
Study" on another laptop, but it keeps bugging me on another and I
don't see anyway to dismiss it other than abandoning the study
altogether.

We are actually planning to set primer account for pilots who are already working with QA, Bugzilla or Add-on, so they could quickly transfer any important findings to bugs or talk directly to QA team. It may take sometime from our side to get it done, but we have plans to do so.

Most likely this will be the first step we can do to avoid this duplicate survey situation. We are planning to update the survey in a month, so at least we can add this question in to the survey.

I tried something today, I just hit "Submit" on the survey without
answering anything and off it went.
Please disregard a survey with no answers, that might be the easy fix
for now ;-) and I must have tried that earlier =S
