Forgetting our password is a common issue that we all face. If you’ve forgotten your Google Account password and you’re wondering how to retrieve it, don’t worry, you aren’t alone. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps you need to take to recover your Google Account password.
Note:
Google doesn’t provide a direct way to see your password. However, if you’ve forgotten it, there’s a process you can follow to set a new one.
Steps to Recover your Google Account Password
Step 1: Visit Google’s Account Recovery Page
Start by going to Google’s Account Recovery page. This can be accessed by typing “Google Account Recovery” into your search engine and clicking on the first result, or by directly visiting https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery.
Step 2: Enter Your Email or Phone Number
Next, you’ll need to enter the email address or phone number associated with your Google Account and click on “Next“.
Step 3: Attempt to Recover Your Account
Google will now try to verify that you are the account owner. You may be asked to enter your last known password, or verify your identity through a code sent to your recovery phone number or email address.

Conclusion
Remember, it’s important to create a strong, unique password to secure your Google Account. Google doesn’t allow you to view your old password for security reasons, but its Account Recovery process helps ensure that only you, the rightful owner, can reset your password. If you keep forgetting your passwords, consider using a password manager.
