Some friends have registered for Google Mail before, but they haven't used it for a long time. Now registering ChatGPT requires Google Mailbox, so I plan to find out the dusty Google Mailbox, but at this time you suddenly find that the password of Google Mailbox is forgotten.
Today we will focus on how to retrieve the password of your Google account, hoping to help you who are having this trouble.
If you forget your Google account, please read this article: " What should I do if I forget my Google Gmail account name?" Find your Google email address easily with this method ".
In particular, Google mailboxes, Google accounts, GMail mailboxes, and Google accounts are usually the same concept, that is, a mailbox with the suffix gmail.com.
This method has two prerequisites:
-
Your Google account has already set up a secondary email address or mobile phone number. For specific settings, see " Google Mail Account Change Password, Change Secondary Phone Number, and Secondary Email 2023 Latest Nanny-Level Tutorial ", and you still remember this information.
-
Magic tools (bring your own, otherwise you won’t even be able to open Google’s official website.)
Next, let's start to explain step by step with screenshots. The following is only a demonstration on the computer, and the operation method on the mobile phone is the same.
1. Open the Google account login address in the browser:
https://accounts.google.com/
If it is an English page, click the language box in the lower left corner of the page and select "Simplified Chinese" to switch to a Chinese page.
2. Fill in your Google account in the input box, and click the "Next" button.
3. On the page for entering the password, click the " Forgot your password? " link.
4. At this time, Google will send a verification code to your recovery email.
If you forgot your recovery email account or password, you can try other verification methods, please click the " Try another method " link.
At this time, Google will send the verification code to the mobile phone number you filled in when you registered your account. There are two ways to receive the verification code: SMS or voice call.
Thinking about an extreme situation, your mobile phone number is no longer in use, you can click on the " My mobile phone is not with you " link, and Google will enter the prompt page, indicating that the system cannot recognize you as the owner of the account for the time being.
You are on this page, click on the " More account recovery tips " link, and it will jump you to Google's help page.
This means that your account cannot retrieve the password through this conventional method.
Therefore, the recovery email address and mobile phone number of the Google account are very important and must be updated in time.
5. Go back to step 4, the link where the auxiliary mailbox receives the verification code. We fill in the verification code received by the recovery email into the text box, and click the "Next" button.
6. The page prompts that the password can be changed, please click the "Update Password" link.
7. On the update password page, set a new password, confirm the new password again, and click the "Save Password" button.
So far, the Google account password has been reset successfully. Next, you can log in to Google with this newly set password.
