How to avoid mandatory account?

[gsdcypher]

Hi All,

I have seen discussions on the mandatory account creation and I know there are some for and some against... And I know all of the arguments for and against it... But I really don't care about all of that. What I do care about is that many customers don't like to have to create an account and log on with a password to use functions of a store.

For example Zen Cart requires someone to set up a password account not only to check out, but also for notifying them of a product update, or telling a friend about a product, etc.

Is there any (hopefully easy) way to subvert the mandatory account creation process and allow visitors to shop and use the cart without having to set up a password account???

Thanks.
