How to Change Gmail Password With OTP

Forgot the Gmail Password? An OTP Can Be Used for Reset : Forgetting the password to a Gmail account can be frustrating, but Google has made account recovery a simple process. The account password can be reset by entering an OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your phone via text or your backup email. Here is the step-by-step guide on how to change your Gmail password by using OTP.

Head Over to the Gmail Sign-In Page : Once you reach the Gmail sign-in screen, simply type in the user's email address. In the password field, click on the "Forgot password?" It initiates the recovery process. Ensure the device that you are using has a connection through either your registered phone number or recovery email.

Select the OTP Method for Verification : Google will offer some recovery options. Choose the option to receive an OTP via SMS or email. If these options do not appear immediately, click "Try another way" until they come up. Select whichever one allows you immediate access to the code.

Enter the OTP to Verify Your Identity : Once an OTP arrives on the user's phone or recovery email, use the prompt to enter the six-digit code displayed on the screen. This completes the verification process and unlocks password reset. Entering the OTP incorrectly several times may lock the process.

Creating a New Gmail Password : After completing the OTP verification process, Google will prompt you to create a new password. Ensure you select a secure one that you can easily remember. Put together letters, numbers, and symbols to form a better difficulty level. Do not use your old password. Type in this new password twice and save it.

Confirmation and Re-login : A prompt indicating that your password has been successfully updated will appear after saving. You will be asked to sign in again with the new password on all devices. Update the saved passwords in your browsers and applications to avoid sync issues or sign-in errors.

Stay Secure with Recovery Options : Always keep recovery phone numbers and recovery email IDs updated in Google Account settings. This will ease and secure the password recovery option. For added security, consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). Keeping your Gmail account safe against threats depends on a very secure and current password.
