How To Setup A New Google Account ?

To sign up a Gmail, create a Google Account. You can use the username and password to sign in to Gmail and other Google products like YouTube, Google Play, and Google Drive, photos.

• Go to the Google Account creation page.
• Follow the steps on the screen to set up your account.
• Use the account you created to sign in to Gmail.

The username I want is taken

You won't be able to get a certain Gmail address if the username you requested is:

• Already being used
• Very similar to an existing username (for example, if example@gmail.com already exists, you can't use examp1e@gmail.com)
• The same as a username that someone used in the past and then deleted
• Reserved by Google to prevent spam or abuse

Someone is impersonating me

If you believe someone has created a Gmail address to try to impersonate your identity, you can:

• File a report with the Internet Crime Complaint Center
• Contact your state's Office of Consumer Protection

Unfortunately, Gmail is unable to participate in mediations involving third parties regarding impersonation. Learn more in Gmail Terms of Use.

Use Gmail for your business

If you want to use Gmail for your business, a G Suite account might be better for you than a personal Google Account. G Suite starts at $6 per user per month and includes the following:

• A professional, ad-free Gmail account using your company’s domain name, such as subprogramiz@example.com
• Ownership of employee accounts so you are always in control of your company’s accounts, emails, and files
• 24/7 phone, email, and chat support from a real person
• Increased Gmail and Google Drive storage
• Mobile device management to keep your data secure, such as the ability to remotely wipe lost devices
• Advanced security and administrative controls

How to set up your new account on your Android phone

If you're already using an Android phone, Google account setup is conveniently baked right into the Settings menu — or even the initial setup for the phone itself if you just purchased the device. Here's how to set it up.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down to Accounts.
3. Tap Add Account.
4. Tap Google.
5. Tap Create account.
6. Type in the name associated with the account. While you do not have to use your real name, if this is going to be your main account, using your real name is recommended.
7. Tap Next.
8. Enter the birthdate associated with the account. Google requires all account users to be at least 13 years old and some countries have even higher age requirement, and in order to have an account that can use Google Pay or a credit card to pay for anything, the account holder must be 18 years old.
9. Select a gender. If you do not wish to be identified by your gender, you can select decline to state.
10. Tap Next.
11. Type in your username. This username will become your Gmail address as well as how you log into your account. If your desired username is taken, you'll be told to pick another and given suggestions.
12. Tap Next.
13. Type in a new password for your account. The password has to be at least eight characters, but thankfully is not required to have a number or special character, if you want to stick to plain old letters.
14. Re-type your new password in the Confirm password box. You'll be told how strong or weak the password you've selected is.
15. You'll asked if you want to add a phone number. This phone number can be used to verify your identity, help log into your account and help people find you if they have your phone number. Tap Yes, I'm in to add your number or Skip to forgo it.
16. Google will present their terms of use. After scrolling through and reading the sections that interest you, tap I agree.
17. Your core Google Account is now set up, and your username and the length of your password will be shown. Tap Next to exit this screen.
