How to Verify Your Google Account Without Your Old Phone
If you need to verify your Google Account but no longer have access to your old phone, follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to the Google Account Recovery 1-888-481-0582Page
Visit the Google Account Recovery page. Enter your email address and click “Next.”
Step 2: Select Recovery Options
Google will attempt to send a verification code to your registered phone number. If you no longer have that phone, click on “Try another way” or “I don’t have my phone.”
Step 3: Use Backup Options
You may have set up alternative recovery options:
- Backup Email: If you provided a backup email address, select this option to receive a verification code there.
- Security Questions: Answer any security questions you set up when creating your account.
Step 4: Use a Trusted Device
If you have previously logged in to your Google Account on another device (like a laptop or tablet), try to sign in from that device. Google may recognize it as a trusted device and grant you access without additional verification.
Step 5: Account Recovery Form
If none of the above options work, click on “Verify your identity” to fill out the account recovery form. Provide as much information as possible to verify your identity, such as:
- Recent passwords
- Account creation date
- Recovery email or phone number
Step 6: Follow Instructions
Once you’ve submitted your recovery request, check your backup email for instructions. Follow them to regain access to your account.
