Losing access to your Google account can be a worrying experience, especially when you can’t remember your password and no longer have access to your registered phone number. However, Google offers a few options for recovering your account. Follow the steps below carefully to increase your chances of success:
1. Go to the Google Account recovery page
Start with the official recovery process. Enter the email address of the account you want to recover.
2. Click on “I forgot my password”
When prompted to enter your password, click the option to report that you have forgotten your password. The system will begin verifying your identity using alternative methods.
3. Bypass phone verification
If the system asks you to send a code to the phone number, choose the option “Try another way” or “I don't have access” to skip this step.
4. Use the recovery email (if registered)
If you registered an alternate email address, Google may send a code to that address. Check your inbox for that email address, find the code or link sent to you, and follow the instructions to reset your password.
5. Respond to security questions
If your recovery email is not available, you may be asked to answer security questions. Try to answer as accurately as possible, such as the date you created your account, names of frequent contacts, etc.
6. Use a previously authorized device
If you have used this account on another device (mobile phone, computer or tablet) and are still logged in, try accessing your account settings there. From this device, you will be able to reset your password with less hassle.
7. Please provide as much information as possible on the form.
If none of the above methods work, Google provides a form to verify your identity. Enter as much accurate information as you can remember, such as old passwords, creation dates, last logins, and devices used. The more accurate details you provide, the better your chances of recovering your account.
By following these steps carefully and carefully, you can increase your chances of recovering your Google Account even if you don't remember your password or have access to your registered phone number. If necessary, try the process several times, always with increasingly detailed information.
