2. Come up with a username. Your username will become your new Gmail email address. Have a backup or two handy in case your desired name is already taken. If your username is not available, you will be given several related options, or you can try a different one.
3. Fill out the rest of the required information.
You will need to enter your first and last name, your birthday (for age
verification), your gender, your phone number in case you lose access
to your account, and a verification email address. You also need to
enter which country you reside in.
- The mobile phone number is recommended but not required. Google can send you a text in case you lose access to your Gmail account.
4. Complete the CAPTCHA.
This is a verification tool that ensures that a real person is creating
the account. If you can’t read it, click the refresh button next to the
text field to get a new one, or click the speaker button to have it read
out loud through your computer speakers.
- After you fill out the CAPTCHA, select your current location. Choose your country of residence, even if you’re planning on using the email elsewhere.
5. Agree to the privacy policy then click Next step.
Take the time to read the entire privacy policy so that you are aware
of what Google can and can’t do with your personal information. Check
the box if you agree to Google’s terms.
7. Click Next Step once more.
Your Gmail account has been created. You can click the button to return
to Gmail, or visit any other Google service. You should be
automatically logged in no matter which Google site you visit.
