by

Forgetting your Gmail password can be a huge inconvenience, especially when your recovery phone number is no longer active. However, don’t despair. There are still ways to recover your account. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of recovering your Gmail password without using a phone number.

Method 1: Using Secondary Email

In the process of creating your Gmail account, Google asks for a recovery email address. This is an alternative way to recover your account in case you forget your password. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Go to the Gmail login page and click on “Forgot password”.
  2. Google will then ask for the last password you remember. If you don’t remember any, click on “Try another way”.
  3. You will be redirected to a page asking for a phone number. Again, click on “I don’t have my phone”.
  4. Google will ask you for your recovery email address. Enter your recovery email address and click on “Send”.
  5. Check your recovery email. You will find a code sent by Google. Enter this code in the provided space.
  6. You can now enter a new password and regain access to your account.

Method 2: Answering Security Questions

This method involves answering security questions that you answered when creating your account. Here are the steps:

  1. Again, click on “Forgot password” on the Gmail login page.
  2. Click on “Try another way” until Google asks you a security question. The questions might be something like: “When did you create this Google Account?” or “Enter an email you can check now”.
  3. After answering the question correctly, Google will let you reset your password.

Please note that these methods will only work if you have previously set up a secondary email or security questions.

Conclusion

While losing access to your Gmail account can be frustrating, Google provides several ways for account recovery. Although it is always advisable to keep your recovery methods up-to-date, you can still recover your account without a phone number. With the methods provided above, you should be able to regain control of your Gmail account. Always remember to keep your account secure with a strong and unique password.
