scarah2 let me know that FanLib requests your ff.net password and email to upload stories. I set up an account and checked this out.
It's true.
This is a violation of basic internet security. I don't know the security and bandwidth implications for fanfiction.net.
FanFiction.net has posted the following notice: "May 22nd, 2007 -- The login process has been enhanced to prevent 'bots' from attempting to access your accounts. Please note to never share your email and password combination with anyone."
