Depends on the circumstances but generally, you'd just use a VPN to connect from a location that does not require them to use it. If the site uses it regardless, you're kinda screwed if they didn't provide any alternate login method.

You could resort to scrapes/archives of the site or using a fake ID, but IMO, if a site makes it that much of a pain in the ass to use, it's not worth my time anymore. If every site starts doing this, I guess I'll just start reading more books instead of articles and websites.
