To go back to tommyabc's point you actually can use a username+password combination as long as your password and/or email is long enough. Just plug it into a base 64 converter. You can get one at sourceforge like the following. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gbm64/ You can just pop a string like the one below into the text field: myname@email.com/password123 It will spit out a base 64 encoded string. bXluYW1lQGVtYWlsLmNvbS9wYXNzd29yZDEyMw==
