>From a high level view you can create an extra field in the auth table, and put random keys in it as a default value for each of your users. Or when someone signs up, they can automatically get assigned a random key using the DAL default parameter in Field. So each user will have a unique key. There are several methods to generate these random keys, you can search for it here in the web2py group. Let me know if that makes sense.
