A quite handy tool especially for those who use web based feed readers is offered by FreeMyFeed. FreeMyFeed addresses the problem of feeds with user authentications.  As users usually, wouldn’t be able to access things such as Gmail’s unread message feeds, FreeMyFeeds will let you bypass that.  To read a feed using a web-based reader such as Google Reader, it requires passwords; or alternately, you may have used an invalid SSL certificate, which meant you couldn’t access the feed. FreeMyFeed is your simple solution. Here’s how it works: enter the feed url you want to read, your username and password, then hit ‘Submit’. You will be taken to a new page with a different url for you to use. Basically, FreeMyFeed repackages the feeds dropping the password req. Log-in information such as your username and password are not served on the site’s servers.
