How to change your Google account password on an Android phone

Hello, friends! If you have Gmail or an Android phone, this means that you also have a Google account. Using your username and password, you can access all the company’s popular services, for example, Disk, Maps, Play Market and others. And my article today will concern its safety.

Let's figure out how to change your Google account password on your phone or using a PC. This may be required if during registration you chose too simple a combination of symbols, or you received a message about the activity of your account, although you have not logged into it for a long time, or other users who now need to restrict access knew it.

Why change the password in Google account on Android

You may need to change the password in your Google account on Android either at your own request or after a warning from the service security service:

when you try to log into your account from an unknown device, the Google security service will warn you about it;
if the current security code has been lost or forgotten;
if the data required to log into your account was held by third parties who need to restrict access;
if you want to increase the reliability of the authorization code.

A Google account on a smartphone is the key to great opportunities

For your information! The password in your Google account is the same for all services of this service, which is why if you change it, you will need to log in again, for example, to mail, Google Play, cloud storage, etc. with a new security combination. This is done to increase the security and safety of user data.

Phones and tablets

Nowadays, phones or tablets are increasingly used for work. This is understandable; there is no weight on the knees and does not draw attention to itself.

By the way, I highly recommend that you get a small and inexpensive tablet if you don’t have one. This is very useful for your development. Not long ago I had the need to have access to the entire legislative framework at my fingertips; I am a lawyer. I took an inexpensive gadget and didn’t even suspect how many positive aspects, in addition to the base, it would bring me.

We all want to develop, do more useful things, work, and at the same time we lie on the couch and relax. This is true for everyone. The TV sets you up for relaxation. Even if you now perceive a computer as an object intended for relaxation, once you start working on it, you will no longer be able to pick it up to relax. The very fact that he is lying on his knees will set him up for work and not very pleasant emotions.

I’m more than sure that even now you rarely take out a laptop or turn on a computer just to watch a useless video. These massive things attract attention.

Interesting fact. People who work on social networks rarely go there. For them, VKontakte turns into a workplace. Who wants to take a break from work? Nevertheless, they, like many others, willingly pick up the phone and begin to invent entertainment for themselves. However, the small screen does not allow you to do anything useful. We download thousands of games and spend time doing completely useless activities.

Recommendations for choosing a password for your Google account

How to change Google account on Android - change and create a new one

In order for a password to reliably protect user data, you must adhere to some rules:

The security code must not be shorter than 8 printed characters. Long passwords are much harder to crack using character selection programs or doing it manually;
a strong password - a combination of upper and lowercase Latin letters, Arabic numerals and ASCII symbols;
The authorization code must not begin or end with a space;
do not use personal information or other data known to a wide range of people;
the new password should not repeat previously used words or combinations of characters;
the best solution is to use different security combinations for different services;
It is not recommended to store login data for personal pages in one place, or stored on unreliable sources (diaries, notes, stickers, etc.);
You should not give data from personalized resources to anyone - neither friends, nor colleagues, nor even relatives.

Note! Superscript characters and letters with superscript characters cannot be used to create a security combination.

You need to create a combination that includes different letters in size and spelling, as well as numbers and symbols, that will have meaning for the author. Such code should be easy to remember, but not obvious to third-party users.

If the login on the new device was not performed by the account owner, then it is necessary to urgently take measures to protect data

Restoring access to your account

Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is go to the gmail mail page.
When you log in, you will likely see the following information. If you can't remember your password, click on the "Need help?" link. To go directly to the password recovery page, you can use the direct link google.com/accounts/recovery/.
Step 2:

If you suddenly forget your login username, immediately click on the second option. To reset your password, click on the first option and in the line enter the email address for which you want to reset the password. Click continue.

Step 4:

If you are the owner of an Android phone and your account is connected as an account on the phone, you can send an alert to your Android smartphone. Google should automatically detect that you have such a phone and a connected account and offer to use this procedure. There will be a corresponding message about this “Confirm resetting the password on your Android phone...”. To send a message, click on “Send message”.

Step 5:

The corresponding instructions will appear on the monitor screen, and a message will be sent to your phone to confirm the password reset. If the message does not arrive, click on “Send another alert”. Confirm the reset on your phone by clicking on the “Yes” button. After this, you will be able to enter a new password on your computer.

Changing your Google account password through the browser page on Android

How to log into a Google account on Android - detailed instructions

You can change the password in your Google account on Android through the browser, as is the case with the device settings.

In the Google Chrome browser, you are logged into your account if this has not been done previously. To do this, click on the small circle at the top of the screen and enter your username and password.

As a rule, on all modern devices based on the Android OS, login is performed once when you turn on the device for the first time. Therefore, it is more likely that after clicking on the icon, the user will be asked to select the current account. There you can also go to account management by clicking on the corresponding line.

Changing your browser password step by step

In account management, you need to select the “Security” section in the top horizontal menu, moving the section names from right to left. Further, all actions will be identical to performing the action of interest through the settings:

Click the “Password” line in the “Google Account Login” field.
Pass identification by entering the current security code.
Enter a new combination of characters in the top line, and then repeat it in the bottom field.
Click the “Save” button.

Note! To avoid mistakes, you can use the crossed out eye icon located at the end of the password field. This will allow you to see the characters you type rather than standard dots.

Changing a forgotten password

It also happens that the account was created too long ago, and the services were not actively used. As a result, when it becomes necessary to log in, for example, to Gmail, this is not possible.

Instead of creating a new account, you can use the step-by-step password recovery form that Google offers, which will result in the establishment of a new security combination. You just need to look into your personal account settings in the “Security” section. In the “Login to Google Account” item, you must select the “Password” line.

On the page that opens, to the left of the blue “Next” button there is the phrase “Forgot your password?”. By clicking on it, you will need to follow the instructions: enter the last remembered password for your account, answer the security question, confirm your phone number, or choose another method offered by the system. This will confirm your identity and ensure that your data will not be leaked to strangers.

Password recovery is possible in different ways

Important! To recover your password, you will need to answer questions and provide as much information as possible about your account. This is done for security reasons.

How to log in from a mobile device if you forgot your password

Let's use the browser installed on Android and go to the google.com system. Then click the “login” button. Enter one of three options for your data into the form.

Email
Smartphone number
Your account name.

Go to the page, select “Forgot your password?”. The system will redirect you to the next stage and prompt you to enter any password used earlier, then you have the option to select “Another method” and try to receive the data via email or phone. A letter will arrive with a six-digit number. The numbers must be entered in a special field.

It is convenient to use a mobile device, since the 6-digit code will be in the notification section and can be applied immediately. But if you are the owner of a portable device or PC, and the link is on the number of the lost SIM card, then only a backup mailbox remains, to which a letter with a confirmation code will be sent.

Possible difficulties

It is unlikely that difficulties will arise when changing the security code for Google services, but it is not impossible. The most common problem is that after changing the security combination, the phone asks you to enter a new password in all Google services you use.

In fact, this is a normal situation, since it is necessary to ensure maximum security for users. The service itself cannot be 100% sure that the settings were changed by the account owner. Therefore, you should be patient and consistently log into all the necessary programs on all devices used.

Note! If two-step verification is enabled on your account, you may also need to enter a digital code sent by SMS message or announced when you call the specified phone number. A problem may arise if the number is no longer in use or is no longer available.

On certain smartphone models, you may need to enter a pattern, password, or biometric data (fingerprint) to be able to change the password.

Most often, problems arise when flashing devices or after unlinking a phone number from an account. Each such case is resolved individually through the support service.

The support team will help with any question

Go to the Recovery section and activate the resource.

On a note. This method will only work if a modified version of the Recovery menu is installed on the gadget.

Some more ways to access your account using a smartphone

Finding account information in Settings may seem confusing and difficult. Therefore, you need to know about this trick - you can enter your account settings from many Google applications. For example, in Google Pay there is a round icon in the upper right corner, clicking on which will display the previously specified account management menu.

Gmail is also suitable. In it you need to go to the settings and follow all the instructions similar to the previously indicated methods. In the same way, you can change the password using a computer browser, but the only difference is that you will need a phone if two-step authentication is enabled in your profile.

Changing any data and updating it is not difficult either using a stationary personal computer or using any equipment based on the Android OS. The most important points are confirming the user's identity and creating a reliable combination of characters. By approaching this procedure responsibly, Google account owners ensure reliable protection for themselves and their data.
