NEU Library Access Extension

This extension lets users login to NEU library supported websites using myNEU credentials.
How it works:
A set of websites where myNEU credential is accepted is available at \"http://ezproxy.neu.edu/menu\". Whenever one of these websites is visited this extension takes actions depending on mode selected from options page. If \"1 CLICK\" option is selected, the extension tries to sign in the user directly on opening the page. Otherwise, if \"2 CLICK\" option is selected, a small icon is shown at the extreme right side of the address bar and by clicking it an user logs in to the website using myNEU credentials. Moreover, if the user has selected to use this extension only when being used from non-neu network, the extension only tries to sign-in users when being used from outside neu networks.
P.S: This extension does not store myNEU credentials.
