I agree with this, but it's better than the alternative of signing up for a brand new username / password combo!

What would you have in mind instead?




(Not parent or parent's parent)

Email and password. It's not really better to be fair

I can give a new service a disposable email address, I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account. Not even a shred of a chance of me testing something if you're requesting anything other than the most basic of read-only permissions too


"I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account."

Now there's a business idea: Mailinator for shady sites harvesting "social" accounts.


I'd like to try it out without signing up at all. Do you sign up for IRC?
