Passwords suck, that’s why Bugmenot.com is a website that allows it’s members to share their passwords to various online services and websites.
For example, did you ever wanted to read a story at New York Times but you didn’t had an account ?
Bug me not NYT, then:
They have a cool and useful feature that allows members to vote on the success rate of a certain username and password. It works pretty good for the initial scanning about which of the usernames and passwords to try for your service.
This website is not one that I would actually enourage or approve (some of the websites in their database, like the NYtimes, usually charge for an account, so basically, this website is illegal), but I can’t help to see it’s definite advantage (to various users).
If I’ll receive any legal notices, I’ll remove the post :)
Wrong. They don’t include Paid For accounts:
FAQ: Our policy forbids accounts to paid services from being posted.
As far as I know, NYT is a paid service ?
I doubt that you’ll any legal notices.
But I would guess that bugmenot already does.
NYT has a paid section. You just have to register for the free username to read the rest of the site.

Aha, thanks Carl for the update.
have you ever used bugmenot? I wonder how many people find this site usefull…
I don’t think you’ll get any legal notices. You’ve just posted a news. Maybe if you had posted a tutorial about how to do some illegalities…but it’s not the case.
I find the website pretty useful. I think you can only find password for the sites that have free membership.
Spammers are now using bugmenot to post comment spam :(
As in any other website. It’s just the way the web has ended up.
Bugmenot should put up a few anti-spam protections.
