    Because the less companies have my details, the better.

    With "hackings" becoming more and more popular, why some websites force you to create an account is beyond me. Especially if you choose no marketing info...

    It's the modern world, every aspect of people's lives are going to be online in the future. We need to tackle the issues such as hacking.

    In the past, new technology had it's problems, in the end they were solved, no doubt there will be many more big hackings though.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    I bought some wardrobes from Very.co.uk once.
    Had a bad experience.
    I don't think I'd buy from them again, so don't want an account with them.

    Similarly, I know of a retail position where people are actively choosing NOT to create accounts any more.

    Don't get me wrong, having the option is great but it should never be forced.
