Get into free sites without registering

Do you always have to register on a free website just to read a news article or view some pictures of your friends? Stop risking a barrage of annoying spam by registering such sites. There is an easy way to get members-only content without enduring the hassle of signing up for an account.

Bugmenot is a free site that stockpiles user-generated account log-ins and passwords so that users don't have to provide their own personal information. If you are using Internet Explorer then go to the Bugmenot website and type in the URL of the site that you'd like to log in to. Bugmenot will return a list of user names and passwords that you can use to log in successfully. That's cool huh? 

For Firefox users, the Bugmenot add-ons will automate the service asking you to install it straightaway. After you install the Bugmenot extension, the next time you encounter a required log-in prompt for a free site, right-click the username or email address box and select login with Bugmenot. Repeat the process if the initial attempt doesn't work; the plug-in might have used old information the first time around. Otherwise, you should slide into the registration-required content without a hitch.
