How to Change Gmail Password

Losing access to your Gmail account can be stressful, but resetting your password is easier than most people think.

RECOVER GMAIL WITHOUT PHONE NUMBER

Below is a detailed step-by-step guide to help you reset your Gmail password safely, easily, and with confidence.

1. Go to the Gmail Sign-In Page

 

  • Open your internet browser on your phone, tablet, or computer.
  • Type the following address: https://accounts.google.com/signin
  • In the email field, enter your full Gmail address (example: yourname@gmail.com).
  • Click **“Next”** to continue.
  • This step helps Google identify which account you are trying to recover.

2. Click on “Forgot password?”

  • Under the password field, select **“Forgot password?”**
  • Google will open a new page to begin the recovery workflow.
  • This is the official method to start the password reset process and regain access to your account.

3. Choose a Password Recovery Method

  • Google will show several verification options to confirm ownership of the account.
  • Common verification methods include:
    • Receiving a verification code at your recovery email.
    • Receiving a verification code by SMS on your registered phone number.
    • Answering security questions (only if previously set up).
  • Select the recovery method you have access to at the moment.

4. Check Your Email or Phone for the Verification Code

  • If you chose SMS, check your phone for a text message with the code.
  • If you selected recovery via email, open your inbox and look for Google’s message.
  • Be sure to check spam or junk folders if the email doesn’t appear in your main inbox.

5. Enter the Verification Code

  • Return to the Google recovery page and type the code exactly as you received it.
  • Be careful not to add extra spaces or characters.
  • Click **“Next”** to confirm and continue.
  • This verifies your identity and allows you to move forward with the reset.

6. Create a New, Strong Password

  • After your identity is confirmed, Google will prompt you to create a new password.
  • Choose a secure password that is strong and easy for you to remember.
  • Tips for a strong password:
    • Use uppercase and lowercase letters.
    • Include numbers and special characters (such as ?, $, @).
    • Avoid obvious passwords like “123456” or “password123”.
  • This step protects your Gmail account from unauthorized access.

7. Confirm Your New Password

  • Re-enter your new password to ensure there are no typing errors.
  • This prevents future login problems caused by accidental mistakes.
  • Click **“Next”** to move forward.

8. Sign In With Your New Password

  • Google will redirect you to the login screen.
  • Type your Gmail address and the new password you just created.
  • Click **“Next”** — you now have access to your Gmail account again.

9. Enable Two-Step Verification (Optional but Highly Recommended)

  • To keep your account better protected, turn on two-step verification.
  • This adds an extra security layer by sending a login code to your phone or email.
  • To activate it, open your Google Account → **Security** → **2-Step Verification**, and follow the steps.

Additional Tips

  • Always keep your recovery email and phone number updated to make account recovery easier.
  • Use a reliable password manager to store your passwords securely.
  • Avoid using the same password across multiple websites or services.

Following this complete guide will make your Gmail recovery process smoother and safer. Always keep your recovery information up to date and consider enabling extra security features to prevent future access issues.
