Websites blocking e-mail aliases (beehaw.org)

Since we started paying for Proton Pass I noticed that a few websites do not allow you to use the generated e-mail. Two that come to mind are Atlassian and Discogs. Has anyone figured our a way to go around this?

If you happen to be paying for iCloud storage, you could use their hide-my-email service for those rare accounts and have it send to your proton email (apple lets you use an external email to forward to). That's one of the big benefits of apple's alias solution; they are all in the icloud.com domain and no website would ever block that.
