In the past I’ve recommended sms-activate for easy, quick and low cost phone verification. When you want to log in, they now force you to click on a verification link send by email, meaning you are f’ed if you used a single-use email address.

Are there any alternative options that accept monero and don’t have this restriction?

But if email verification is the problem can't you just prepare an anonymous email address, like by signing up Disroot, Tutanota, etc. etc. (and via Tor if necessary)?

They suddenly want me to verify the email I used for creating the account years ago, it was never an issue before. I cant access that anymore tho, so I'm now locked out of the (few cents worth of) funds, still on that site.

Ah that's too bad. Then... you're locked out, I know that sux. Ideally, you could've gotten an anonymous domain of your own, e.g. from Njalla, and then you can have as many new mail addresses as you like, [email protected]. As long as you have that domain, your email addresses will work forever (even though e.g. a hosting company disappears, you can just use another hosting company, by simply editing dns). But obviously, it's too late...
