Love your product. Would like to use it with students that do not have an email address. Could you configure it to accept a class code, so that younger students do not need to input an email.

Thank you for your consideration!

Hello! We don't officially have the functionality built in, and we also are not actively developing the tool to be able to implement it. But you're not the first one to ask. There's actually a known workaround though - Prism doesn't check whether your emails are real. It just looks to make sure they look like emails. So I was able to successfully create an account with this:

username: notarealemail@fake.com password: a fake password that i made up

As you may have guessed, it is not a real email. So you should be able to fake your way through the system for the students. I might just invent your own classroom codes by giving each student an email and login (you could set them up yourself or just have them log in). Something like:

mpini1@class.com, mpini2@class.com, mpini3@class.com with your own passwords to match.

Not the most elegant, but it should let you do what you want to do. Hope this helps!
