From a quick read of the pages on their website, I would not use their service. In essence you store all your passwords on their servers. It seems like the private key to decrypt your information is stored on their servers as well, because you can 'remove' a device from your list of allowed devices if it has been stolen. Therefore you bet all your passwords on their privacy policy. YMMV.

FON login script
Hi. I've failed to find a way to login to my La Fonera wifi router. wget doesn't support httpS and python is lacking httplib. I guess I could make it work with WPA but that won't help me at work where I need to login to a similar network. Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Fredrik Wendt PS. I'm using FSO, but iwconfig et al should be the same.

For anyone who doesn't use FON, the idea is that you use one of their routers at home, share your broadband with other fonneras and in return you can use FON access points elsewhere. FON make their money by also allowing purchased subscriptions, for €5 per day or so. When one uses one's home AP one can indeed access using WPA, but the FON hardware offer two virtual APs (see madwifi) and at a remote or public FON access point one connects to the unencrypted wifi network and must enter one's FON username password in an https webpage (or buy credits from FON via PayPal, also https encrypted). So automation of FON logon may best be achieved using, as Fredrik observes, https scripting. Fredrik has also said, Yorick, that your suggestion doesn't help him at work where he has to log on in a similar manner. Best suggestions I can think of are to see if there's an https- enabled (SSL-enabled?) version of curl in the repositories or perhaps a Perl library? Alternatively compile wget or Python httplib yourself using OpenEmbedded. I mentioned before, in a much-ignored post, how impressed I was with the Nokia N95's ability to wake the WLAN / GPRS and check for email if networks were available. Presumably later distros will be able to connect automatically to the 'net when a browser is opened - it would be great if FON were accommodated in this mechanism, although I won't be holding my breath.
