Password reset. Services need to identify you in another way to authenticate you that isn't your password.

If you don't want that, use Mailinator and forget about it. It's insurance against stupid support requests is what it is.

They don't need to identify me, they want to identify me. And throwaway emails are not a solution to the problem, they're just workarounds.

They need to have a way to reset passwords for people that scales.
