In this content, we are going to recover Gmail accounts with password and without password. We are going to try both ways. If you have the same device and forgot the password, then you can try without the password. Here both the methods are given. But here we are going to focus on passwords and phone numbers.

No 8-digit backup code

There is no recovery email and no same device.

• If you haven’t saved the 8-digit backup code, that’s fine.
• If you haven’t added recovery Email whiles creating a new email id, then no problem.
• It doesn’t matter if you lost the device or reset your device.

So today we are going to do Gmail meaning Google account recover without 8-digit backup code, recovery email and without the same device.

How to recover the account?

Here are the different ways to try to recover your Gmail account.

We will try without a password as well.

When will this Gmail recovery method prove useful?

If your device is not with you i.e. lost or you have reset your device without recovering your Google account. So all Gmail data and all Google account data get deleted so when you enter the same Gmail on another device then ask ownership of the Gmail account because Google is top technology company and Gmail service provider by Google. Google never compromise on security so day-by-day bug fix and every app and Gmail keeps on strengthening security day by day. Without authentication, nobody logs into your Gmail account.

And if you turn on 2-Step Verification the additional security layer is added. So when you open a new Gmail account, don’t forget to turn on 2-Step Verification. Save the 8-digit backup code that helps you login to any new device after you’ve turned on 2-Step Verification.

When will this Gmail recovery method work?

This method only works if you have the phone number and remember the Gmail password.

Because if you don’t have 8-digit backup code and recovery email or the same device then you must remember your password and have a phone no.

Why phone number is needed to recover Gmail account?

Here the phone number has been used for the recovery Gmail account because it is from this phone number that you get the verification code. Yes, Google sends you the verification code by text message. With this verification code you will easily pass the first of the two steps. This step is very easy to pass because if the device is lost, you can get the same phone number as a new one. If you reset your device, the phone number will remain the same.

After that, we will show using password.

That’s why both phone number and password play a big role in recovering Gmail account.

What to do to recover Gmail account without 8 digit backup code and recovery email id?

Sometimes too many failed attempts may result in your account getting locked for a few hours. So let’s try it after a few hours. If this has happened to you too, try it after a few hours.

After few hours you try the same procedure as we have described step by step earlier. If you don’t know then read steps 1 to 6 and 1 to 8 without password and password.

You know, the phone number option was locked after too many unsuccessful attempts. Now after waiting for very long hours we try to recover Gmail account again.
