What does an Authenticator allow when using an Anonymous Link?

An Authenticator allows for the retention of Individual Links functionality even when using an Anonymous Link. This is significant because it enables researchers to gather data from participants while still maintaining some level of tracking or identification for specific respondents. By utilizing an Authenticator with Anonymous Links, one can create a balance between anonymity for respondents and the ability to connect responses to individual users if necessary.

This functionality is particularly useful in situations where tracking individual responses could enhance data analysis, yet the overall anonymity of the data collection method is preserved. The Authenticator effectively bridges the gap between the anonymity of standard features and the detailed participant management capabilities usually reserved for other types of links, such as individual links.

Other options may suggest benefits like increasing response numbers, improving the user interface, or providing detailed analytics, but these do not pertain to the primary function of an Authenticator in the context of Anonymous Links. Instead, they reflect different aspects of survey design and analysis that may not directly relate to the use of Authenticators.
