A friend just emailed a link to this, some service for sharing pictures or something.

The stupid thing is that it openly asks for your email address and password.

What on earth?

I imagine the email address is your username for the site, and the password is the password to said site, not you actual password to access your email account

Well thats what normally happens, however it said 'your gmail password' 'your hotmail password' etc. Odd.

Yeah. Usernames are soo <pick a year from 1995 to 2004>...

Loads of sites use email addresses for sign-in now, although I do agree that just labelling the boxes "Email" and "Password" could be made a lot clearer for the less computer literate. I mean, I know for sure that my Gran would type her Gmail details straight in...

Edit:// Although on closer (but not thorough) inspection, that site does seem like it does something with email, so maybe it's not so clear-cut.

Oh I see where you mean, heh, yea, probably passes through to the relevant login prompts, still wouldn't trust it though
