I think the implication was that you'd need to do the appropriate 
research to answer the question. However, if you want your software to 
log into a web site on the user's behalf I don't really see that you 
have much alternative than to ask them for the required information.

If you suspect they'll sue you for abuse of the data they enter, go find 
another set of users ;-)
