FAQ — Gmail account: what you need to know

Can you create a Gmail account without a phone number?

What should I do if I forget my password?

Go to the “Forgot your password?” section directly from the Gmail login page. A link will allow you to start the account recovery procedure. You can regain access via your phone, your emergency address or by answering a security question.

Can multiple addresses be linked to a single Gmail account?

Yes. You can:

  • Add other addresses (Outlook, Yahoo, business addresses) to consult them from Gmail;
  • Create aliases using “+” or dots in your address: jean.dupont+ facture@gmail.com redirects to jean.dupont@gmail.com.
