How to setup or change recovery options in gmail
- Go to this page here. Log into it using your gmail account usernames and pasword details.
- Under Mobile phone, Add a personal phone number. You’ll have to verify your phone number. TO verify it, gmail will send you a code as sms onto your mobile number. You’ll have to enter the same on the page there. If you lost your password in future, your password will be sent as sms to this phone number which you enter here.
- Under recovery email address – Add another email address (not the same as your gmail account address).
- Review your security questions at the bottom, check and memorize the answers or edit them if required. These security questions are asked when you try to recover your gmail in unfortunate cases.
If you’re more cautious and concerned about your gmail account security, you can enable 2-step verification. With this enabled, whenever you try to login gmail, you’ll receive a code via sms or voice call (whichever you prefer), you’ll have to enter that code as well beside your account username and pass. So, this adds additional security as even if somebody hacks your gmail password, he won’t be able to get your phone for the verification sms received during sign-in attempt. Unless you really need this feature given below, don’t enable this because sometimes this may result in lockdown of your account if not done properly.
How to enable to 2-step verification in Gmail .
- Just head to this page here.
- Sign in using your acc details.
- Understand how it works. Proceed. Add your phone number. Select your country.
- Verify your number with the codes received on your number.
- Turn the settings on. Done!
- There is also a smartphone application called Google Authenticator for this security feature. By installing that app on your android phone, blackberry or iPhone, you’ll able to generate verification code each time you try to login without any internet connection or mobile network availability or sms. Downloading of this app is recommended. Install it. Then link your account with it and select the criteria of code generation method i.e. time based, etc.
These were the preventive measures to make yourself safe from gmail account hacking. Keep reading our blog for more security tips and online safety.

I had to reset my phone BC it was shutting off and on and now I got to redo my Google account but it won’t let me sign in
My google account password was changed,but not by me,I had two step verification bot that failed also,because they also changed my Yahoo password,then to top it off my phone was disconnected,therefore I couldn’t access 2 step verification.I have managed to find files pertaining my email thus verifying my identity,since I can’t sneer the recovery questions to their satisfaction
,they need to change those stupid questions,I don’t email.they could at least give you the opinion to choose what programs you use on google.If given the chance to speak on my behalf ,I could bring my files in proving my identity.But this is what I concerned about they are hacking my network connection,so it does no good to change the password,They use fake window pages error code shut down my internet connection I have an 189 page print out of events and UP address going in and out of my computer.Well enough said if you know of anyone I can trust to give my proof to please email me .But I will only give them in person I don’t sending them on line. THANK YOU. E.DOWDY

I activated my phone in august and the it was deactivated and now I reactivated it and I cant get in to it because I forgot the password to the goggle account to the phone. I cant receive the code to open the phone via text because of the gmail account.Can you help?
I have been trying for 3 years now to get into my google account. Someone has stole my phone right after i changed my password and i cant for the life of me remember what i could have changed it to. I of course by now have a different number, so the whole text message code ordeal is out of qs eestion. I have tried to submit every date i can think of without actually going through and trying every month and every year. PLEASE HELP! i had this email for years and it has all my old pictures and emails// past times on it. I called them and they said they have no access to the account dates or any other way to help me.
i forgot my password and i cant remember my frequent flyer number nor the date i opened the account
I like some of the others here,dropped my old phone to many times and it wouldn’t come back on this time,so i got a new phone and tried to transfer only to get two different messages,when i first tried it said the user name was already being used,the next around the 29th i started getting a message saying that they couldn’t verify that the account belonged to me. when i first began trying i noticed an unusual email that was linked to a hot mail account but haven’t seen it anymore. when ever i try to recover it keeps asking me for a number that i no longer have.This is becoming very frustrating, a friend told me that my account is still there,so i’m left with the question what is the problem why cant i access my account nor my gmail?
NONE OF THE STEPS GIVEN ARE WORKING AND TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE BY PHONEOR OTHERWISE IS FRUSTRATING. THE OLD NUMBER OF MINE THAT THE SYSTEM KEEPS ASKING FOR IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE WHICH WOULD BE THE 8703703613. IT DOESN’T WORK THEREFORE I CANNOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES THERE,HOWEVER I DO HAVE A NEW NUMBER LISTED ON THAT ACCOUNT THAT I USED UNTIL MY OTHER PHONE WAS DAMAGED AND NO LONER ABLE TO FUNCTION. I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE THAT MY YAHOO EMAIL AS WELL IS UNAVAILABLE AND I’M CURRENTLY USING IT NOW WHICH IS HOW I’M ABLE TO RECEIVE PASS CODES TO CHANGE MY PASSWORDS,WHICH IS WHAT IVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS. I DON’T KNOW IF MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED OR WHAT AND HELP SUPPORT IS OF NO HELP.

The security number they use to claim its so secure is a absolutely a nightmare.
If you loose your phone, they boffer no other way to get into your account,
If phone is lost and never recovered, althouh I contacted the bus service and Cricket. Most likely when i can replace the phone I will most likely have to get a new phone number.
Rendering my account useless. My contacts i cannot retreive. And google offers no other way to get back in.
Then important contacts I or you need to contact is rendered uselesss.
You cannot even send the reset code to another phone.
This leaves you no other option but to clog up Goog;les space with redundant email accounts that have no use.
THis needs to be changed.
Since I cannot enter another e-mail account, because it wont let me.
I thik ill go to hotmail, Theyre probab;y better.
Very pissed off
I agree! I can’t get into mine and google is no help!
guys pls help me by providing any steps on how I can retrieve my gmail account,i forgot the password and the phone number that I set up for 2 verification code was inactive already..pls help!thanks

I changed phones, and phone numbers. I am not very phone savvy. So I allowed a friend set up my new phone. She changed my Gmail username, and my password. Being a dumbass, I factory reset my phone. Hoping to be able to recover my account and data.
Since I didn’t initially set up the phone and account. I apparently tried to reset my account with a wrong username, and password. Now I have a phone that I can’t get into. Because I don’t have the correct account information. And the friend that set it up for me is gone to hell.
Please, please,help me…

Hello. I have been trying to get into my old Gmail account since my old instagram account is linked to it. I forgot the password though. I recently got a new tablet and a new Gmail account, but I would still like to recover my old Gmail account. I went to the account recovery link and did everything, but when it asked for an email so they could contact me later I pit my new one, since I can’t access my old one. They sent me the code and I put it in correctly, but then it popped up and said that they couldn’t verify that the old account was mine. How am I supposed to verify that its mine if I can’t access it?
I got a replacement phone on Tuesday. I went through all the steps and retrieved all my contacts, apps, music and photos. This was on Tuesday night. My SIM card was not registered with the new phone, so I had to go into the store and have them register it. After a series of calibrating or whatever, I was able to make calls and use my phone, but ALL OF MY PHOTOS, which were backed up on google were gone, EXCEPT the ones that were taken over the weekend.
I know that my photos were backed up on google because the rep in the store had made sure before all this took place. But now I can’t find them. Please help.

Please provide access & reinstall my two long standing Gmail accounts. They have been removed by google, possibly because they have been hacked into but am not aware of this. I have good passwords but am unable to sign in, google facility having
been removed. This also occurred on a recent occasion a few weeks ago & you reinstated the accounts then.
I believe also you have experienced configuration issues where windows could not automatically detect this networks proxy settings. Please resolve the issues, to provide the Gmail service I expect.
Regards Ken
