If your password isn’t in the manager, use Google’s official recovery process to reset it:
Using Account Recovery
- Go to Google’s Account Recovery page (via your browser or settings).
- Enter your Google email address and tap Next.
- Tap Forgot password.
- Verify your identity via recovery email, SMS, or phone call (use the method you set up earlier).
- Enter the verification code sent to you.
- Create a new, strong password (mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols).
Setting a Strong Password
The video emphasizes using a strong password to avoid hacks. Aim for at least 12 characters—avoid common words or personal info like your name or birthday.

Beyond the video’s steps, here are my exclusive tips to keep your account safe:
Enable 2-Step Verification
This adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone gets your password, they can’t log in without your phone or authenticator app. To enable it: Go to Google Account → Security → 2-Step Verification.
Use a Password Manager
Google’s built-in manager is great, but tools like LastPass or 1Password work across devices. They generate strong passwords and store them securely.
Regularly Review Saved Passwords
Check your Password Manager every few months to delete old or unused accounts—this reduces your risk of data breaches.
