You’re browsing the web and you click a link to an article on a site (let’s say nytimes.com) but instead of getting the article you get a screen asking you to login or register. Infuriated at the idea of pointlessly registering for yet another site you turn to your good buddy bugmenot.com
BugMeNot is also a firefox extension, that will automate the usage of the online service of bugmenot.com. version 0.7 now will automatically fill in the web site’s fields with the first username and password combination it finds, the BugMeNot popup will automatically close, and the information will be automatically submitted. If it isn’t a valid combination, just right-click, select BugMeNot again, and this time, the window will stay open to ensure you get a valid combination. The script will still automatically transfer the information to the web site’s fields and submit it after you close the pop-up window.
You can change various settings in the extensions’ options menu if you use Firefox. Mozilla and Netscape’s auto-fill and auto-submit are on by default. The multiple remote servers option has been disabled, as it wasn’t really put to the use in the first place, and when this site was down, it caused some problems.
