We all know how important it is to secure our Gmail account and regularly update our passwords for security purposes.
Gmail is a free supported service developed by Google for users to access on the web, through Android, IOS, and other operating systems.
Gmail is a very popular platform with over 1.2 billion users, at recent records. This means that about 54% of the entire population of the planet is currently using Gmail. Which puts it at risk to hacking. There’s just so much vital information that is being transferred via Gmail.
Before I proceed in showing you how to change your Gmail password, I want to key you in on a few tips that you should consider before changing your password. Most folks are fond of using simple passwords that are amazingly easy to guess by someone else.
It is very necessary to ensure that your password is secured and strong enough so that it won’t get hacked.
Things To Consider Before Creating a New Password
1. When Creating a new password for your Gmail account, that password must contain at least 8 characters or more to make it stronger.
2. Before you finally hit that change password button and your changes are stored, not that your password should contain numbers, symbols, and other characters. This will make it difficult for hackers to hack your Gmail password. Example of a scary password is: (<%#example$).
3. Use a unique password for each of your online services. Don’t ever use the same password for your Gmail on Yahoo, Bing and other platforms. Using the same password for more than one service can be very risky because if someone gains access to just one of the service, they will definitely have access to all others including your Gmail account.
Note: Creating a strong password should not be a problem to you later on. Use a password that you can always remember. so as to not get locked out from your own account.
There are so many online services that you can use to help you in remembering your username and password and automatically secure your files. Some of this services include 1Password, LastPass, and a few others.
