Account Verifying Your Google : The Essentials
When you create a Google Account using a non-Google email address, we'll send a verification code to that email. This crucial step ensures the account is yours and helps protect your data. Without verification, you won't be able to fully create and use your Google Account.
To get started, simply sign in to your email during the account creation process. You'll receive an email from Google containing a verification code. Enter this code when prompted to complete the account setup.
Finding Where to Find Your Verification Code
After starting your Google Account creation, check your email inbox. The verification email will arrive shortly after you set up your account. Open the email to find the unique code needed to activate your account. If you're not able to immediately locate the email, don't fret – we provide some troubleshooting tips below.
If you do not see the email right away, check your spam or bulk mail folders. If it's not there, add Google's email address to your address book to make sure future messages get to your inbox. You can then request a new verification email directly from your Google Account settings.
“Verification ensures your account's security and unlocks all the features of Google.
