Ways to access ‘Must Sign Up to View’ Sites




-Tips-

BugMeNot helps you instantly get disposable logins details for huge number of popular websites that force you to register. In other words, it lets you bypass compulsory registration processes on thousands of websites.

    Ex: Say you clicked on a link that points to an article on some popular reviews or news website. Usually instead of landing straight on an article page you’re asked to signin or register. Maybe there is a good reason behind it, but what’s the point of signing up if that is your first and only visit to that website. Using BugMeNot, you can instantly access disposable login details and login to desired website without signing-up. It’s fast and convenient.

Features:

  • Firefox Extension: Add BugMeNot to your Firefox toolbar.
  • Bugmenot Bookmarklet: Lookup disposable login details directly from the target website.
  • Contribute: Submit a missing or alternative login details.
  • Report non-working accounts.

ALTERNATIVE

Google Cache

If the snippet near the result seemed to talk about the problem you’re having, there are high chances that Google Cache should have a copy of the website you landed on. One of the sites where it works quite well is ‘Experts Exchange’. Instead of clicking on the direct link, just click the ‘Cached’ link near the search result. View the page. Go till the end of it. You might end up finding the information there.


Be the Bot

In a rare case when you’re not able to view the solution even by accessing the Google Cache, you can use Be The Bot.

Be The Bot fools the site to thinking that Google Crawler Bot is accessing it. And hence, you’ll get a view of the ‘real’ site via Be The Bot.

What other ways can you think of to bypass compulsory registration forms in sites, especially forums?
