To sign in to your Google Account (or any Google product):
- Go to the sign in page of the product (for Google Accounts it is myaccount.google.com).
- Enter your Gmail username (everything that appears before '@gmail.com').
- Enter your password.
Common issues
I don't think I have a Gmail account
New Google Accounts come with Gmail, so you should already have a Gmail address if you've created your account recently.
If you never created a Gmail account, you can sign up at no charge. To create a Gmail account:
- Go to Gmail.com.
- Select More options
Create an account. - Follow the onscreen instructions.
Create an account.I think I deleted my Gmail account
If you already have a Google Account and deleted your Gmail account, you can add Gmail to your current Google Account.
To add Gmail:
- Go to mail.google.com.
- Sign in to your Google Account.
- Follow the onscreen information to add Gmail to your account.
When you add Gmail, your Gmail address will become the primary username on your account. It will be what others see when you share information, such as documents or photos, from your Google Account. Your original email address will become the recovery address on your account.
If you have more questions, visit the Gmail Help Center.
