I just did this on a website that said my Simplelogin alias isn’t allowed for signup, but changed it successfully after the fact from a disposable email.

    Nice trick. Also, thank you for mentioning simplelogin. I didn’t know that. I’ve used plus-addressing to be able to at least know who sold my data, but that also doesn’t work everywhere, until now I thought that this is just due to programmers validating mails with regex failing addresses containing “+”. Maybe this trick can be used for that as well.

      I’ve done that and forgotten the plus part, so when trying to log in later I was stumped! Pre password manager, of course.
