I use a specific email account just for these logins. And a password manager.

Very good practices and yeah password manager is a must!

I do also have a throwaway email and I really appreciate people posting news to lemmy, don't get me wrong, but making an account to every news site appearing on lemmy and logging in everytime (because of clearing browser cookies / sessions) is a bit tedious.

Not saying this needs to change (it is my laziness in the end) and again, really appreciate people posting on lemmy. Just wanted to comment out my frustrations about the loginwall.

I create new emails on the fly with 33mail.com, using the website's domain as in lemmy@.33mail.com

I use Proton's SimpleLogin which is very handy for things like this. I used to use DuckDuckGo's Email Protection which is free. SimpleLogin is however more powerful imo.

Both services allow you to just create a new email address whenever you need one and it forwards to your real one.
