Don't Bother Signing up for a Password for a Website!

Have you ever ran across a website that seems interesting, so you click around, and suddenly you get the annoying message that says "Must Register to Continue!" So you go to register, which takes at least 10 minutes because "Your desired user-name is already in use!" or "Passwords don't match!!!" and then of course, your e-mail inbox is filled with spam like "New updates from BlahBlahBlah.com!"

Www.BugMeNot.com saves you alot of anger in situations like this because, well , they already registered for you! All you have to do to access websites that require registration, is go to Www.BugMeNot.com, do a search for the webpage you desire a registration from, and use theirs!

However, the site does not allow passwords to websites that have an age restriction of any type on them, or any site that require to pay before accessing content. Sorry, no porn site passwords...

Nem W Schlecht

Been around for some time and very useful. There's even a Firefox plug-in for BugMeNot so that you don't even have to visit their site to get access to a site.

Another nice hack is to use Firefox to set your UserAgent string to be the same as the one used by GoogleBot. Gets you into most sites easily as well.
