How to recover a forgotten Gmail address?

  • First, launch the Gmail sign-in page on your browser and remove the default email ID typed in the email ID field.
  • Then click on the forgot email link where you need to submit your phone number or alternate email associated with your deleted Gmail account.
  • Thereafter you need to enter your first and last name and after that click on the send button when Google asks you to send a verification code to your recovery phone or email.
  • Once you receive the 6 digit verification code from Google, just enter it in the required field and all accounts associated with that recovery phone or email will appear.

How to recover a forgotten Gmail password?

No matter whether you forgot the password of your old deleted Gmail account or current Gmail account, the password can be easily recovered by tapping the "forgot password" option and then selecting a suitable password recovery option. But the recovery options available to you may vary depending on what information is up to date on your Gmail account. Here are some options to recover your Gmail password:

1. Phone number

Password recovery via phone number is the fastest method as you just have to enter your phone number and get a verification code via text message on this number. Then enter this code and reset your password. Moreover, you can directly sign-in to your Gmail account without password just by tapping yes on the notification sent by Google on your phone. But if you haven’t set up a phone number as a recovery option or don’t have access to your phone, then the next option will assist you.

2. Recovery Email

Password recovery via email is similar to the phone number option as here also Google will send a 6 digit verification code on your recovery email and then you need to enter it and reset your password. But if you don’t remember which email is set as a recovery option or can’t access your recovery email, then the next option will help in resetting the password.

3. Security questions

Under this option you just need to answer some questions like your favourite teacher, date of birth, pet’s name, favourite movie etc. But this option will be available only if you have set it as a recovery option at the time the account is set up.

Does Gmail have live chat as the contact option?

Gmail live chat is the fastest way to contact a live person at Gmail for account issues, but Google does not provide Gmail live chat option to contact a Gmail live person. Hence, we can help you out with almost all your Gmail account problems.
