The website authentication system could be very annoying when you want to access certain information rapidly and you do not remember the login details or you do not have a login account.

Did you think about the existence of a possibility
to enter a password protected website without typing in a login name and a password? But without having a login account?

These two questions have a straight answer: it is possible to by-pass the login process when websites have an authentication system used to control users access to certain resources.

In the first situation, when you have a login account but you forgot the username and password, enabling cookies in your web browser can help you. Every modern web browser provides options for cookies management in privacy settings area.

By enabling cookies in your web browser, next time you go on a password protected web site, the login process will be by-passed and you will be redirected to the desired page, because the cookie will transfer to the authentication script your login data. Practically, the login process takes place but without your intervention (it is invisible for you).

When you do not have at all a login account necessary to access certain parts of various websites, the firefox plugin BugMeNot will save you a lot of time. It will allow you to by-pass compulsory registration steps or the collecting of personal data in case of forums of other web sites. After you install the add-on BugMeNot in Mozzila Firefox web browser, the login process will magically take place only by right clicking in the form field corresponding to the Login Name and selecting from the context menu Login with BugMeNot.

There is also a widget available for Opera web browser named Bug Me Not and it uses the services of the same website bugmenot.com, as it is the case of Mozilla Firefox add-on BugMeNot. This browsers' plugins will save you a lot of time and will provide you a more comfortable and fun browsing experience.
