If you forget your Email password, it’s practically like you’re an Internet ghost roaming the halls of your previous existence, and I don’t want to overstate things.
It’s not all that horrible. However, you should update your password and obtain access to your account as soon as feasible.
According to the Email Customer Service Helpline, mail provides many options for confirming your identity and recovering (or changing) your password. Fortunately, they’re all put up in a handy wizard that mail will lead you through step by step.
Your email is securely saved in the cloud when you use it. Messages may be accessed via a web browser from any computer or device. You can join or start a video meeting in= Meet directly by the mail if your administrator permits it. Add Chat to your mail inbox to directly use all of Chat’s capabilities. Without an internet connection, you can also easily organize and discover critical email, as well as read and draft emails. mail provides many handy tools to make your email experience as pleasant as possible.
Steps to recover your email password
To begin the password recovery procedure, simply click the “forgot password” link on the mail sign-in page. You’ll then see a notification prompting you to enter the last password you recall. If you remember the proper password and have a backup mechanism in place, you will be prompted to continue in many ways. If you can’t recall any of them, click “attempt another question.”
Update: mail will immediately send a code to your recovery email address or request further information to assist you to restore your account.
- The next option will send a code to a recovery email if you have a secondary recovery email address (which you set up way back when you created your mail account in the first place). Choosing this option will send a six-digit number to your secondary email account (which does not have to be mail) allowing you to reset your password and recover access to your account.
- Check your secondary account’s email for the code, then input it to access a new password generator. Newer accounts may also have a phone number backup option—see below for more information.
- If that doesn’t work—for example, if you don’t have access to the account you initially chose as a backup—click “attempt a new question” once again. We’re now approaching earlier, less secure methods of account protection, such as security questions like “what’s your mother’s maiden name?”
- Create a new password and confirm it at this stage. You may now access your account again. Here’s a primer on how to create a safe and memorable new password.
Protect Your Account
- After you’ve created a new password, mail will invite you to review the security settings for your account.
- If you haven’t done, we strongly advise you to add a phone number and a current backup email to your account.
- Though mail is used to enable security questions, you can no longer add new ones and only cancel access to old ones. This is a precaution taken since security questions are ineffective at providing true security. Your previous one will continue to function as long as you do not actively delete it from this page.
- Once you’re in your mail account, go to the Account Settings page by clicking your profile image (if you haven’t set one) in the upper-right corner, then “My Account.”
- Click “Sign in ” on this page. You may verify your recovery email and phone number again here, as well as discover which devices and locations last accessed your account. If anything appears to be out of place with the latter, someone may be attempting to access your account for malicious motives.
- You may wish to look at other choices on the sign-in page. Setting up two-factor authentication is strongly advised, and if you use this mail account on your smartphone, you can get an authentication prompt there rather than manually putting in a password on the web.
