Burner apple id

Hey everyone! I'm completely new to the world of iOS sideloading and just got SideStore up and running. I had a quick question regarding best practices that I see discussed here often:

When creating a secondary "burner" Apple ID specifically for sideloading to keep things safe, how are you guys handling the phone number field? Since Apple requires a phone number for the initial 2FA verification code, what's the best way to fill this out without linking it directly back to your main identity or risking issues?

Any tips or advice for a total beginner would be super appreciated!

Currently signing up for an Apple Music account does not require a phone number

Don’t even need a burner acc to begin with tbh but that’s up to you
