Man, I'd get behind a standard and stamp for this, it'd save me so much time!
I'm sick of accounts. Fuck accounts, I've got hundreds of the little shits, every one a looming security time bomb. Most of them I cannot delete. I've just stopped making them now, which locks me out of pretty much every new product, but I consider it worthwhile in exchange for not creating more accounts.
There are better ways of doing this shit though. For example, firefox hello does not require an account like skype does. It just makes a hyperlink with a unique ID, and I can share it.
If you need to track the customers transaction, why not link it to a unique URL?
