Gmail login: How to sign in to Google email account and how to change my password?
GMAIL has risen to become the world's most popular email provider service - and its free and easy to use.
Despite going through various changes since it launched in 2004, Gmail's tidy layout and format is simple to understand. Just a few clicks and you're set-up to start using all the features it has to offer.
How can I sign in to my Gmail account?
You can use Gmail on a variety of devices, including dekstop and laptop computers, as well as iPhone and Android devices.
On your computer, go to gmail.com and enter your account email address (or phone number) and password.
If information is already filled in and you need to sign in to a different account, click "Use another account".
If you see a page describing Gmail instead of the sign-in page, click Sign in in the top right corner of the page.
To sign in on an Android device, open the Gmail app and then tap on your profile picture in the top right of the screen.
Press "add another account" and then choose the type of account you wish to add.
Then, follow the steps on screen to finish adding or setting up your account and hey presto - you're ready!
How can I change my Gmail password?
Like all account based websites, ranging from Facebook to Netflix, Outlook to your bank account, passwords are an integral part of logging in to your online profiles.
Like most other websites, you will find "Forgot password?", which will require you to provide a form of contact for verification.
Yet, normally this would be your personal email account, meaning you will need to have set up either a secondary email address or a phone number.
On the first instance, you will be asked to enter the last password you remember for your account.

If not it will then send a code to your phone - or for you to verify a change on the gmail app on your phone by pressing 'Yes' - for you to create a new password.
If you haven't forgotten your password but want to change it anyway, do the following steps:
- Open your Google Account. You might need to sign in.
- Under "Security," select Signing in to Google.
- Choose Password. You might need to sign in again.
- Enter your new password, then select Change Password.
