Here's What Happens if You Lose Your Google Account—and How to Prepare for It
1 min read
Summary
If you rely on Google services and apps such as Gmail, Google Photos and Drive, losing access to your account can cause significant issues
You also won’t be able to sign into third-party apps using your Google account, which can lock you out of these apps altogether
To prevent this scenario, it’s sensible to utilise a digital password manager to store your login credentials securely
Additionally, add multiple recovery methods such as a backup email address or phone number, and remember previous passwords as this may be asked as part of the account recovery process
It’s also advisable to back up your account externally on a regular basis to prevent loss of data if the worst happens and you’re locked out of your account.
