Your gadget could have a Login state, in which the user authenticates. Thinking more about it im not sure of the availability of cookies, but perhaps you could set the user's authenticated key as a user_pref. You could skip the login state if the user_pref is set and the key is valid, this would assist in making the gadget more accessible as a login state does add another hurdle to leap.
