Is it possible to specify a password and device in the URL link for a KTG device? I can get the username in there but with multiple devices assigned to a user, I may want to have a link go right to that device for that user.

The example shown in the Knowledge Center says this;
Create a bookmark, and then edit the bookmark to include userName and deviceName settings:
http://:7681/kiosk2Go.html?userName=&devName=
where userName is the NWare user name used to log on to Kiosk2Go, and devName is the name of the Kiosk2Go Layout device block.
For example: 10.20.0.99:7681/kiosk2Go.html?userName=elliot&devName=iPad

SO---For the last big project I did before coming to work with Peavey, I would create 5 different K2G devices (Tablet Layout Block), and give them different Page Group Names; FtWorth, Grapevine, City_Hall, Exhibit_Hall, and Hotel (remember, no spaces allowed).
Then I would create 5 Bookmarks similar as shown above, but using "&devName=FtWorth" another with "&devName=Grapevine" and so on.
Here is the complete topic, as found in the KC;

Notice that you can setup the user to NOT need a password by not entering a password when creating that user...  I can guarantee that I would have required passwords for any big project.
Let me know if this is clear.
