Frequently asked questions
I forgot my Gmail password. How do I change it?
You need to recover your account instead. Go to g.co/recover and follow the steps.
How often should I change my password?
Change it straight away if you think someone else knows it. Otherwise, a long, unique password with 2-Step Verification is more important than changing it often.
