I don't believe you need that field with Proton, correct me if I'm wrong. If you do need that field with an email provider, and you need complete opsec, use a different provider.

It wasn't a requirement when I signed up several years ago, and to my knowledge, it's still not required now. Just as long as you keep your email and password in something like a password manager and don't fuck it up, you're fine.
