• When was the last time (day, month, year) you accessed your Google account?
• When did you create your Google account (month, year)?
• What is your security question?
• List more than 5 email addresses you frequently contact.
• What is the recovery email address you previously set up?
• Phone number previously linked to your Google account.
• Why can’t you access your account?
• …..

Details of the password recovery steps are as follows:

Step 1: Access the Google account recovery page through the link https://myaccount.google.com/ and select Need Help.

Step 2: You will be redirected to the Google Account Recovery page. Choose I don’t know my password > Enter the Gmail account you want to recover > Click Continue.

Step 3: Enter the captcha code > Click Continue > Enter the last password you remember (correctly) or choose I don’t know.

Step 4: On the password recovery screen, click Verify your identity > On the Verify your identity page, answer the questions that Google asks (try to answer as accurately as possible or make an educated guess). After completion, Google will verify if the information you provided is correct and allow you to re-enter the correct information. After this process, you can recover your Gmail account if Google accepts your answers.

To prevent your Gmail account from being hacked, you should enable two-step verification. However, it’s also essential to be aware that hackers can install malware or spyware to monitor and control your computer.
