Get protected from e-mail spams.

[kavinraja]

Few days before i saw a thread here by optimus prime about spams.
Most of the times when we search through google or any other search engine and came up with a site which have your required info, you would see a message there saying you must be logged in to view the contents of this page. At that time most of us doesnt get a second chance from registering up there, since your required content was up there.

This is the main source for spammers to get your mail id info. From then you get heaps of mails daily and some without even having an option to unregister.
The only way to escape from this is to use disposable e-mail id during the sign up. Trashmail.net gives you a free disposable e-mail service, where you can create a free mail id(without any usual sign up procedures) and redirect the incoming mails to it to your own mail id for a defined period of time.

One option to avoid entering your credentials is to disguise your browser as a Google or other search engine bot ( they have access to mostly everything ).

I had found one firefox add-on : User Agent Switcher. This did help in most cases helping me avoid entering my info.

I had used it long ago before switching to chrome, dont know bout it now but here is the link : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59?nor=1

TRUE...but do you know that you can also change your user-agent manually without that add-on....Google for it.

@kavinraja

You're right...the main word is disposable e-mail address

found a site : bug me not which contains legitimate for most if not all sites. You could use those id's and passwords to sign in to sites with this message : ' you must be logged in to view the contents of this page '

I already know of BugMeNot and I've used it before. My only problem with it is that most of the time, the passwords given do not work and you have to find another one until you get the 'right' one...it can take a long time if you're really unlucky on that day...

Personally, I prefer to just use a disposable inbox service and remember the password for that particular site that's asking for registration...
