The different services and platforms that Google currently makes available to us are innumerable at this time. They have grown over the years and many of them we use almost daily.
All these applications and online platforms offered by the search giant are associated with our original Google account. As many of you already know, in this way we will have the opportunity to interact with all of this through a single email and its corresponding access password. What’s more, we have the possibility of authenticating ourselves on many other third-party platforms through this same account that we are talking about.
Hence the importance of this is beyond doubt today. Actually, this means that if we cannot access our Google account for some reason, this can become a real problem. For example, we may be victims of some type of hacking through which we lose control of said account. It may also be the case that it is blocked for some reason and we cannot access our Gmail email or the rest of the firm’s services. Before reaching that point where recovering the account can become quite a complicated task, we will talk about a trick that we should apply and that will allow us to recover it immediately.
As they say, prevention is better than cure, so before we get upset about losing our Google account, we are going to establish a recovery parameter. This is a function that allows us to carry out the search giant precisely for this type of situation.
Add another email to recover your Google account
Therefore, to avoid these situations that we are talking about and that can become unpleasant, what we will do is establish a secondary email. What we want to tell you with this is that we can tell Google that we have another email account that we can use to recover the main one. It is quite possible that most of you currently have more than one email account, so carrying out this step is not complicated.
In this way we can request the recovery of the main account through the secondary one if it has been hacked or for some reason we cannot access it. For this that we tell you, the first thing we will do is access the configuration page of our personal Google account. Next, we go to the Security section on the left panel and locate the Methods section to verify that it is you.
Here we have the possibility of entering our personal telephone number or establishing a recovery email, which is what interests us in these lines. Here we will only have to enter the secondary email account that we want to use to recover the main one. Keep in mind that this is a function that we may never use, but it will serve as a lifesaver in the event that we have a problem accessing the main Google account.
