If you’ve ever visited some of the websites for major newspapers, you may have been asked to register to view the content. And if you’re like me, the last thing you want is one more password to remember for a site you probably won’t return to. BugMeNot is a neat little tool that you can use to get a password for these websites, without forking over your email address. It can provide you with a working user name and password to access sites like this - and basically, it’s a shared user name and password, available to anyone else on the site as well. For example, if I registered for the NYTimes website, I could then add that user name and password to BugMeNot, so that others could use it to access the site. For that reason, never use a user name and password that you would normally use - make it pretty generic, since you’re putting it on the web for millions to see.
