Bug Me Not

I found out about this great web service on Erin McKean's Dress a Day blog. It basically generates usernames and passwords to use to get into free "registration required" websites (like many newspapers and online vendors). It won't, of course, work for paid subscription sites, but it works like a treat for those you're not likely to use often enough to remember which email address and password you registered with. (Or if you hate giving out your email for anything that might later send you an email about Exciting New Offers!)

It's not as though registering for free sites takes that much time (you'll still have the extra step of going to Don't Bug Me), but I hate registering for something I know I'm unlikely to ever use again.
