Populating fields in concatenated forms: alternatives to query string?

    Been creating two separate forms, one after the other, the second receiving field entries from the first to pre-populate new fields. Followed the instructions from the topic How to populate fields dynamically via query string (and related).

    However, passing variable names explicitly, as in
    ?name=andrea&surname=balza
    is not good as it unconsciously reminds the user that is sending out personal data.
    Alternatively, passing the data via the ID of previous form, as in
    ?entry_id=30
    is intolerable from a security and privacy point of view.

    I´m sure that you guys have already a solution handy, (involving a hook maybe?) that save us to pass query strings that are so 90´s ;)

    Best,
    Andrea
