We demonstrate how to recover a Gmail account if you have lost access to your phone and are logged out of all devices.

Here is our video to prevent this from happening (   • Gmail Backup Account Recovery Methods  ).

You can do this even if you had 2nd factor authentication turned on, if you know your email address & password. We recommend having alternate account recovery methods tied to your account, but it is still possible to recover an account without them. This video was per the request of a subscriber that had lost access to her account.

Tips/Tricks Steps to Recover your Google Account or Gmail Account
If you forgot your password: Enter the Email or Phone number of the Google Account you are trying to recover
Answer all questions to confirm it's your account. Make up answers if you are uncertain
Try recovery using a browser, where Google can pop up and eventually ask you questions. Answer any question presented
Try until it says too many failed attempts, then vary the waiting period 1,2 weeks in between.
After that randomly vary the waiting period by days in between account recovery attempts
It is important to answer every Google query, even if you have to guess at the answer.
For example, it sends a code to your phone #, guess at the answer even though it is not correct
If it sends a code to the email address you are trying to recover, then enter a guess at the code
This confirms to Google that a human is trying to recovery the account.
It is best to use the same wifi/internet provider/device that was used before the account was lost
If possible use a previously authenticated device for account recovery
The Gmail app on App Store/Play Store allows you to file a direct request for Google support
