How to recover Gmail password

Losing or forgetting your Gmail password can be a real problem, especially if that address is associated with an Android device. In this article, I will walk you through the various means of resetting your Gmail account so that you can recover your forgotten Gmail password.

If you've forgotten the secret question or your account has been hacked, you can still recover your Gmail password in a few simple steps.

I forgot my Gmail password

If you've forgotten your Gmail password, you can recover it by accessing Gmail's password recovery page by filling out this form . I recommend that you always recover your password from a location where you've previously (or better yet, recently) accessed your Gmail account: you'll have a better chance of success because Google keeps a record of Gmail logins and their locations.

Go to the password recovery support page; the first window that will appear will be like the following:

Enter your email address and click Next . The first thing you'll be asked is " the last password you remember ." Enter it. If you don't remember it, click the " Try another question " button.

During the password recovery process, you may be asked to answer a secret question you set in the past, or enter a recovery email address or phone number that you have always associated with the account.

There are no alternative recovery options. Unfortunately when the Gmail account was created a secret question (or the answer is not remembered), an alternate reset email address, or a phone number that can be accessed to receive a reset code was not associated, no You can prove that you are the rightful owner of the Gmail account.

So getting the account back is absolutely impossible and there is no way to get it back.

Your phone number has been changed

If you have changed your mobile number, you will only be able to regain access to your account if you remember your password. You can use the alternate email address, if linked, where the recovery code will be sent to you.

Gmail account hacked or stolen

If your account has been hacked or compromised, Gmail offers a step-by-step recovery process that begins with a questionnaire, which you can find at this address . Read the instructions provided and answer the questions to regain access.

After entering your email address, Gmail will ask for the last password you used and then ask where you want to receive the password reset code. A reset code will be sent to you immediately and the next window will ask you to enter the six-digit reset code to regain access to your Gmail account.

If you don't have a mobile number to receive a reset code, click on " Try another question " and you should be able to enter an alternative email address to receive the recovery code.

Some tips :

• Try to answer all the questionseven if you don't remember the answer very precisely: if you really don't remember, you can also write "I don't remember."
• If you have a negative result on the first try, don't give upPlease try several times, trying to respond as best you can and always using the same alternate email address.
• Try to fill in the form from a computer you use oftenlike your home or office computer

Gmail account not used for 9 months

If you haven't logged into your Gmail account for about 9 months, it may have been removed from the Gmail servers. Inactive accounts and the data stored on them are often impossible to recover. Unfortunately, if this is the case, you will have to create a new Gmail account, taking care to write down the secret questions and password in a safe place.

Recover Gmail password saved in Chrome

If you don't remember your password but it is stored for automatic login when using Chrome, then you can easily retrieve the saved password. Open this address with Chrome:

chrome://settings/passwords

And look for the password in the list where all passwords are saved. To show what is hidden under each asterisk or period, you will have to enter the password of the PC from which you are using Chrome.
