Yep, if that's possible for your service that works. If the service doesn't want your email and/or doesn't have access to your data, e.g. an E2EE service where account reset is impossible, then that's not an option.

The supposition for all this is that the service wants to use passwords for whatever reason. In that case, generate them for the user.
