Recover Vault Password Feature

I was checking out the app page from the Google Play Store and I saw that there are many users complaining that they forgot their password.
One possible solution would be to send the user an email with the vault name and password.
What? The files are encrypted with the password. There is no possible way to recover a password without breaking the encryption. Only solution would be to make it more clear to the users, that if they lose their password, they will lose their data forever.
I think there was a misunderstanding here,
One possible solution would be to send the user an email with the vault name and password when they first create a vault.
Also not acceptable, because first we don't have and want the Internet permission and we would send their secret encryption password unencrypted around the world. If people want to encrypt files, they have to know that once the password is lost, only a brute force on the password can get their files back...
Valid points.
Agree. Let's not focus on the way user manage his personal datas, because any helpers/workaround will only weaken the process (and generally solves nothing because most of the moaners won't fill an email / also lost their accounts / etc).
I agree with an explicit BIG warning, and so on :)
@StelianMorariu nevertheless, thanks for the ideas. All input is useful. 👍
