Yes. I tried to follow the link in order to answer the survery.

The first thing that happened was that I was asked to log into google.
For me it is not
clear why I would need to log into my own google account (and that way
to provide my
credentials) only in order to fill out the survey of a person that I do
not know.

These days I receive many phishing emails that ask me to log in here,
log in there, and
so on (typically with unusually long URIs) so I felt obliged to warn the
other list members.

I think you should change the setup of your survey in a way that allows
users to fill it
out without providing their credentials (or even anonymously).

Best Regards,
Jürgen
