How to Create a Gmail Account only 7 steps

** How to Create a Gmail Account only 7 steps **

Step 1.

Open any Google webpage. This includes Google, Gmail, Google Plus, Drive etc.. You will be presented with either an information page about the Google service, or a red Sign In button, a login page etc.

Regardless of what you see, you will either be logged in or you will be prompted to Sign in or create an account. (You can use this link from Google as well.)

Step 2.

Come up with a username. By default, your username will become your new Gmail account name. If you type in a username that has already been taken (hey, you might already have registered it right?), then you will be prompted to login or reset the password.

This option is not available if you are specifically trying to sign up for Gmail. In this case, you must create a Gmail account.
If your username is not available, you will be given several related options, or you can try a different one.

Step 3.

Fill out the rest of the required information. You will need to enter your first and last name, your birthday (for age verification), your gender (Male, Female or Other), your phone number in case you lose access to your account, and a verification email address. You also need to enter which country you reside in.

The mobile phone number is recommended but not required.

Pro Tip: As you create a Google account, for better protection, you can opt to use 2 factor authentication whenever you access a Google service. When using 2 factor authentication, you will receive a code from Google via SMS that grants access to the computer/device attempting to login to your account. There are limits on how many accounts can be associated with Gmail addresses, if your regular mobile phone has been used up then go and register for a Google Voice phone number. This is an invaluable way of protecting yourself.

Step 4.

Complete the CAPTCHA. This is a verification method that ensures that a real person is attempting to create a Google account. (Sorry robots not allowed.)

If you can’t read it, click the refresh button next to the text field to get a new one, or click the speaker button to have it read out loud through your computer speakers.

Step 5.

Agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

Take the time to read the entire privacy policy so that you are aware of what Google can and can’t do with your personal information. Check the box if you agree to Google’s terms.

Step 6.

Click Next Step. This will take you to your Google+ profile creation page. All Google accounts create a Google+ account when they are created. You can choose whether or not you would like to add a picture to your account.

Step 7.

Click Get Started. Your Google account has been created. You can click the button to return to Google, or visit any other Google service. You should be automatically logged in no matter which Google site you visit.
