In checking the logs it appears that Securence does not maintain an ID unique to each user. It changes often, so I guess the only option left is for the subscribers to complain loud and long to their ISPs or to pick up a Gmail account. This is particularly frustrating for these users because of their deaf-blindness. Thanks for all the assistance.
