Thanks. I have done that now. So obvious, but I didn't immediately think of it.

There used to be instructions how to inject a fake account directly into the database, but this method changed a lot between updates, not sure if still possible currently, putting down any kind of mail address is easy enough there's not much motivation to explore alternatives.

Ok, thanks. Yes, only a trivial annoyance, so understand there are no easy workarounds.
Account is created, so no need to for any workarounds now.
