One caveat:  when last I looked, the form encourages you to type in your
passwords.  The form is insecure:  that's to say, if you type in your
_real_ passwords, everything a hacker would need in order to use your
account will be sent, plain-text, over the 'net.

For safety's sake, use dummy passwords, then correct those settings when
the config SMSs have arrived at your Communicator.
