Zero Knowledge Encryption with email recovery?

Hi all,

I have been reviewing cloud storage providers and was surprised to find that Mega offers zero knowledge encryption. However it also can send you a recovery key if you forget your password. Am I wrong in thinking that this is zero knowledge in the loosest sense? If they can generate a recovery key then they can access your files right?

​

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
