Knowing some users they use the same name and password on more than one site.. This does not sound good to me.

Imagine if installing a Vista gadget required this? Or if you installed a Winamp addon or Firefox addon.. isn't this the least bit suspicious?
No offense, but there should be absolutely 0 reason why a login/password is being captured into a SQL DB to run a kitchen..
I can "maybe" see the login, so you can see who from PPCGEEKS or PPCKITCHEN is running the kitchen, but there shouldn't be a spot for a password.

wow, where are the smoking men lurking in the shadows using ray beams to read your thoughts?
It was explicitly stated to not use your ppcgeeks.com password. We do not want to know that and have no reason to ask for it. We did, however, suggest using the same username so that we could identify people and issues they were having by comparing their login username to their nick in the forums or in chat.
With that said, the password is necessary to keep multiple users from using the same name. That is all. So, as we develop the tools to help people there is no confusion as to which user is using which username.

As stated before, if this is too much of a concern for you, feel free to leave the login and password fields blank.
