Les Jones: Username blog, password blog

Blogging > Username blog, password blog

And so I'm surprised we haven't seen people creating a universal username and password (blog/blog) for sites that demand onerous registration: Try to get into the site with the blog/blog combination; if it doesn't work, register under that combination to do the next guy in a favor.

Works for me. I'll remember that the next time I hit a site that requires registration.

That's a good Idea. But before you get too far in spreading this idea around note that many sites require a 6+ character password and some sights require numeric as well as alpha in the password.

Good point. I've had to come up with a couple of generic logins and passwords because of all the different rules.
