This userscript is an improved version of BugMeNot dated from 2009, by 'hosts' (which in turn was based on code found at http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/h/4171).

This applies in both HTTP and HTTPS sites.

Many sites (e.g. online newspapers) require you to register with the site before being able to read content. This registration is annoying, invasive, and a serious privacy risk. (Several newspaper publishing companies have been caught selling their registration information to spammers.) A site called BugMeNot.com (http://www.bugmenot.com) has sprung up to aggregate fake logins for such sites. This script takes BugMeNot one step further by integrating it into the login page itself. It retrieves all possible logins from bugmenot.com, shows their count, and you can try each one on every clicking of 'Get login from BugMeNot'.

Extra features/changes to the '09 version:

  • During the 1st attempt all found logins are temporarily stored for using them in the next login attempts.
  • Only 1 connection is done to bugmenot.com.
  • Added the // @noframes imperative.


How to use:

After installing this script, go to any page that requires sign in. Click on either the Username or the Password textbox. This is what will appear: image (the 1/- means the 1st login out of yet unknown available logins)

By clicking Get login from BugMeNot the script will contact bugmenot.com, and, if it finds login(s), it will temporarily store all found logins for the current browser session via GM_setValue, and then it will autofill the login form with the 1st found login, as shown below: image

Try to sign in with that 1st found login. If the login is invalid, you may navigate again to the sign-in page and try each one of the rest logins by clicking again on either the Username or the Password textbox and then to Try next login from BugMeNot, i.e. image Notice the 2/3? It means the 2nd login out of 3 available logins. Also, note that only 1 connection is done to bugmenot.com - all login attempts are done using the stored logins from the 1st attempt.

Also, during this, if the Username or Password textbox are already filed with the previous login, you'll get a prompt to Overwrite the current login entry: (just press OK to continue). image

If there were no logins found you'll get this alert box: image meaning that you can either (see the 1st screenshot for reference):

  • press More Options to open(in a new tab) the relevant bugmenot page, or
  • just press Visit BugMeNot which will open(in a new tab) http://bugmenot.com .

Note: you may reset the attempt(=login) count by opening/refreshing any irrelevant page to the current one, i.e. just navigate to an irrelevant page, then switch to the login page.


Thanks to 'hosts' for making a very useful script!
