I gave it a try earlier, since it was mentioned. It created my account, rejected my CSR, and I got a message saying that I somehow failed to create a login certificate, that I'd no longer be able to log in, and according to the FAQ the only way to continue would be to create a whole new account on a different email address and to ask them to manually merge the accounts. That's broken in countless ways; no CA should have such a brittle, half-baked account system. -- Glenn Maynard
