Yes.

What site are you talking about? I know you were originally talking
about signing yourself up for something. Dennis mentioned BugMeNot as
a service that does something similar -- when a site has content that
requires free registration, and when you don't feel like giving out
your email address or creating a temp one, you can use BugMeNot to
find a pre-registered login.
Look, try it yourself. Go to http://bugmenot.com and type nytimes.com
into the search box. You'll get a bunch of logins that you should be
able to use to access the NYT site. All the Firefox extension does is
automate this.
