Just as a note: for E2EE services that use your password to decrypt your key to decrypt your data, a recovery email often recovers your user account BUT not your data (so you may get access to a blank account). It is perfectly possible to lose access to your data, that may include the rest of your passwords, if you have not set up other recovery methods which can actually decrypt your encryption keys, and rely on a recovery email or phone.
