img522/5827/buggerjm7.jpgBugMeNot is a Firefox extension that allows you to bypass the compulsory web registration by allowing you to use other people’s logins. To activate this extension simply right click on the user name and password field of a site that asks for registration. BugMeNot will log in for you automatically using user-submitted passwords. If offers

  • Multiple login attempts
  • Failure reporting
  • Auto-submittal

If your browser closes after you submit a url to get a login try disabling the “Close BugMeNot window on first try” option. Go to Tools > Extensions > Bugmenot > options.

Some people prefer to simply register on the website and use it. But seriously you just can’t register on sites where you’re never willing to come back again. A guy asked BugMeNot.com “Why not just register?”. Their response was

  • It’s a breach of privacy.
  • Sites don’t have a great track record with the whole spam thing.
  • It’s contrary to the fundamental spirit of the net. Just ask Google.
  • It’s pointless due to the significant percentage of users who enter fake demographic details anyway.
  • It’s a waste of time.
  • It’s annoying as hell.
  • Imagine if every site required registration to access content.

Also they have a good record of 13,098 weekly downloads and 739,873 total downloads.

Note : BugMeNot policy forbids accounts to paid services from being posted. However, just like a discussion forum, if you happen to find one then email it to BugMeNot and it will be removed. You can also request an entire site to be blocked here.
