Create a Google Account
A Google Account gives you access to many Google products. With a Google Account, you can do things like:
- Send and receive email using Gmail
- Find your new favorite video on YouTube
- Download apps from Google Play
Step 1: Choose a Google Account type
Important: When you create a Google Account for your business, you can turn business personalization on. A business account also makes it easier to set up Google Business Profile, which helps improve your business visibility and manage your online information.
When you create a Google Account, we ask for some personal info. By providing accurate info, you can help keep your account secure and make our services more useful.
Tip: You don't need a Gmail account to create a Google Account. You can use your non-Gmail email address to create one instead.
- Go to the Google Account sign in page.
- Click Create account.
- Enter your name.
- In the "Username" field, enter a username.
- Enter and confirm your password.
- Tip: When you enter your password on mobile, the first letter isn't case sensitive.
- Click Next.
- Optional: Add and verify a phone number for your account.
- Click Next.
Use an existing email address
- Go to the Google Account Sign In page.
- Click Create account.
- Enter your name.
- Click Use my current email address instead.
- Enter your current email address.
- Click Next.
- Verify your email address with the code sent to your existing email.
- Click Verify.
Step 2: Protect your account with recovery info
If you forget your password or someone is using your account without your permission, updated recovery info makes it much more likely you’ll get your account back.
