[SLUG] How did Skype set port forwarding?

I installed Skype. The tests showed it working.
Later I was looking at my Verizon router and
discovered two new port forwarding entries for
Skype. Now how was it able to do that? I
thought that any changes in the router required
user:password (unless remote administration is
turned on).
