> Create a separate account at the same company for the other purpose.

I'd love to create separate accounts for other purposes, but doing this has become such a big pain that I only did it a couple of times so far.

Most services now require mobile number during account registration. It seems necessary to provide a unique number, but how to get one? Numbers from "burner" apps often cannot get the text with confirmation code. Also, the registration process itself is difficult; sometimes multiple genuine attempts at account registration get your IP blocked, at least temporarily.

If anyone has any tips, I'd be happy to hear them.
