AVS temp password? Help!

[romeoboi]

Hello everyone-
recently some LLs like Cleos have asked for a temp AVS password and wont accept a backdoor entrance to the members area. I was wondering what I could do so I could set up a temp password as I dont want to give them my webmaster password
1. Should I just have to hunker down and pay for a password from my AVS system? Wouldnt multiple webmasters using it though cause my AVS company to inactivate it, hence defeating the purpose?

2. Is there a way with htaccess that I could add a password for them to access the members area?

3. Why are sites requiring a password and not allowing a backdoor link? I'm assuming this is to prevent submitters linking to a bogus content area, but I cant help being frustrated as I'm an honest webmaster and this makes this a bit more difficult

I know AVS sites are dying, but Ive been having better success with them than free sites not to mention that I have to spend less time submitting them!


Any suggestions? please help!
thanks!
