Can't read my #howtogeek article without making an account. This is new. For as long as I can remember I could just read the articles by clicking on the mail links. Since they turned orange I was going to quit but the articles are really good. I have just reached 300 passwords in my password manager and I don't want anothet account. Anyone else get this? Other links don't ask for logon but won't scroll down.
