BugMeNot.com – Generic Logins for Web Sites

Filed under: Firefox, Privacy — admin @

Some web sites request personal information from the user before granting them access to certain areas of the web site. Sites like online newspapers, forums, and businesses use this technique in an attempt to get more information about who is accessing the data but this can easily be circumvented by entering in false information. BugMeNot.com is a collection of generic accounts for many different web sites. Go to http://www.bugmenot.com, type in the website address and it will list any available logins sorted by a community-input percentage of either working or not. New accounts are added by visitors to the web site.

There is also a FireFox plugin available for BugMeNot. After installation right click on the login field of a web site and select “Login with BugMeNot”. The plugin will automatically cycle through any available logins to that site in its’ database.
