Most password managers will offer to update the existing entry for an app when you create a new password if possible, you can opt instead to create a new entry and then go back and edit the old one to say something like “Gmail - old password.”

So when you change your Google password - and it’s not a bad idea to change it regularly - keep a record of your old password somewhere safe.Ī good strategy here is to use your password manager - you use one, right? - to keep track of old passwords. If it’s been a while since you changed your password (assuming you’ve ever actually changed it), it may be hard (or impossible) to remember that former password. One of the ways Google verifies your identity if you lose your password is to ask you to type in your previous password. Your email will be downloaded in the MBOX format, which can be then uploaded into another Gmail account or into most other email services or apps. The formats of the downloads vary depending on the type of data.

Here are some suggestions to place you in the best possible position to get your stuff back. Your options beyond Google’s suggestions may be limited, so it’s best to be prepared ahead of time. Google does provide a list of methods to try if you’ve been locked out of your account - either because you’ve forgotten your password or because somebody has hacked into your account and changed it. When researching this article, I came across several accounts of people who had been locked out of their accounts after forgetting their passwords - and a few who had still not been able to get back in, even after several weeks. Losing access to your Google / Gmail account can be an incredibly frustrating and unhappy experience.
