How to Change Your Gmail Password
Hey everyone in this video, I wanted to show you how to change your Gmail password. So if you feel like your password is not secure, I'm going to show you the process of setting that up and changing that password. It's a little bit hidden in the settings option. So I thought I'll make a quick video to show you where to change it.
So first things first, we want to go to gmail.com. After that, it should take you to the log-in to the Gmail page. So make sure you type in your email and password here and go ahead and log in again. If you forgot your password, that's a different video. So this is just to change the password. If you already know what your password is and on gmail.com, if you go to the top corner, you will see a settings option.
Now, this is different than the settings options way on top here. This is the setting icon. Press that. And it's going to give you a settings option here. If you click that, it's going to go open a settings window for you and under this page, you need to go to accounts and import. So if you press that previously was called accounts.
So there may just change this to account. It will say change account settings here. Previously, you had to go to Google account settings to change your password, but now you could change your password right here. If you forgot your password, there is a recovery option here, and I have a different video about recovering a lost email password.
But in this case, we want to just change the password here and it's going to take us to this Google menu where it's going to ask us to type in our current password. So if we know that we're going to go through this way, if we forgot it, we're going to go through it. For God and do a password recovery. I'm going to press next here.
I log in and then he's going to ask me to choose a strong password that I don't use for other accounts. So this is letting me reset the whole password and it's going to ask me to have at least eight characters and I'm in the process of making another video to show you how to use an app, to keep all these passwords secure.
Instead of having to write them down on a doc called password, for example, on your computer or on a piece of paper. So check out that video when it's live, but this is it. Just go ahead on typing your new password here and the password has been changed. Now, this is going to change it on all the other devices.
So my iPhone, for example, is connected to Gmail and I'm going to have to make sure I change that there is going to do a security checkup for me, and I'm going to continue to my Google account. So that's all it takes to change your password on Gmail. I hope you found this useful.
