I used to use Protonmail, however the verification steps become tedious when creating unique emails for sign ups. I've switched to Tutanota despite it contravening their one account policy. What do you all use for one off emails (for sign ups etc )? Or do you prefer one of those 10 minute email sites?

How does protonmail make it tedious? I use ProtonPass and it creates a new email for me in one click and I dont pay for protonmail. Every newsletter or account i register uses a new email that are forwarded to my protonmail

You say you use ProtonPass with a free Proton account? Do you know if they have a limit for creating these new emails? I've seen ProtonPass advertised but I just assumed it was a premium feature. When I say its tedious, its because when I create new ProtonMail accounts you first have to verify it with another non-Proton account which I find a bit annoying as I dont use services like Gmail etc , but more importantly, Proton has been blocking signups on newly created emails (if you just created the email and then use it to verify a service sign up it gets blocked).
