Noticed this on the Slashdot front page – a great little site that hosts a database of community style logins to online newspaper sites.
BugMeNot.com was created as a mechanism to quickly bypass the login of web sites that require compulsory registration and/or the collection of personal/demographic information (such as the New York Times).
You just type in the URL for the site you require a login for and it shows it if they have one in their DB, else you can add it. Check it out there is even a Firefox plugin that I must still give a try.
