Title: What's that site with free login accounts?
Post by: Sandwich on September 24, 2004, 10:49:34 am: You know, the one that shows a "public" account people can use to browse registration-based sites? FreeNet or something?

I think Sandwich means the sort of sites where you get 2/3 pages in and it says something like 'please register to read this article", but where you don't want to give them your email (for various reasons) - i.e. so you pick up a 'public' set of account details to browse instead.

I recall running across a site that is simply a record of user-submitted usernames/passwords for pretty much any site around the net. It should have login details for The Atlantic Online.

If you've got Mozilla look at this.
