Username as a parameter to login screen

Is it possible to pass the username in a link to site so that the user does not have to key it in, and just provide the password ?

    Great, works!

    Is it possible to pass further parameters to be used inside ? 

    My use case is a link which is being sent via email to a user with some task id.

    The desired functionality is to click the link (in the mail), enter the password and

    then redirect to the form activated by the associated task - possible ?

    Yes, if that email is sent from Appian you can use the function a!urlForTask() to get the task URL. If you append '?un=user.name' to the end of the URL it should continue to work.
