Description
Forms currently supports sharing to users who do not have an account using a public link. This functionality is critical. In some instances, though, a method is needed to prevent repeat submissions from the same person.
This could be accomplished by supporting generation of an arbitrary number of passcodes or unique ids to provide in the URL. For instance, 500 codes could be generated, exported from Forms, sent in mail-merge mailing, and thus be used to restrict entry to approved participants (and prevent duplicate form submissions).
Similarly, it could be useful to allow upload of a list of passcodes generated from a user/participant database.

Done should support participant passcode or unique-ID generation, export or import of codes, and restriction of submissions to approved participants without repeat entries.
