Activating your Google Account recovery involves setting up or updating your recovery email address so you can regain access to your account if you forget your password or encounter other issues. Here's how to do it:
Steps to Set Up or Update Your Google Account Recovery Email:
- Go to your Google Account: Navigate to your Google Account settings.
- Access Personal Info: On the left navigation panel, click Personal info.
- Find Contact Info: Under "Contact info," click Email.
- Access Recovery Email: Under "Recovery email," click on your current recovery address. You might need to sign in to verify it's you.
- Enter New Recovery Email (or Verify Existing):
- If you are setting up a recovery email for the first time, enter the email address you want to use.
- If you are updating your recovery email, enter the new email address.
- Verify the Email: Click Verify.
- Follow On-Screen Instructions: Google will send a verification email to the address you provided. Follow the instructions in that email to confirm the recovery email.
Once you've completed these steps, your Google Account recovery email will be active. This email address will be used to send you security notifications and help you recover your account if needed.
