How to Recover a Forgotten Gmail Password Using Multiple Methods

Part 1. One Click to Recover Gmail Password Saved on iPhone (Without Phone Number)

One of the recovery methods for Gmail is your phone number. If you have added your phone number to your Gmail profile, you can ask for a code to be sent to your phone, so you can verify your account and set a new password.

However, if you do not have your phone number with yourself, you cannot use the method. Another method to recover your password is to see if you have ever saved your password on your iOS-based device such as your iPhone. If you have the password saved on your iOS device, you can have it recovered using a nice little software mentioned below.

Enter Tenorshare 4uKey - Password Manager, a software that lets you scan your device for any saved passwords and shows all the passwords on your screen. You can find out the saved Gmail password for your account using this software and the following is how you do it.

Step 1 Head over to the software website and download and install the software on your computer. Plug-in your iPhone to your computer and launch the software.

Step 2 On the following screen in the software, click on the Start Scan button to scan your device for any saved passwords. The software will thoroughly scan your device for saved passwords.

Step 3 Wait while the software scans your device for saved passwords. When the scan is finished, click on Mail Account in the left panel and you will be able to view your Gmail password in the right panel.

You may use this password to access your Gmail account from any of your devices. That is what you do when you "forgot my Gmail password".

Part 2. Recover Forgotten Gmail Password with Google Recovery

If you would rather prefer using the standard Google recovery method to recover your Gmail password, this section will teach you how to do it.

If you have access to any of your recovery methods, you will be able to use this method to reset the password for your account. The following are the steps on how you do it.

Step 1: Open a browser and head over to the Google account recovery page. Once you are there, enter your Gmail email address and hit Next.

Step 2: The following screen will offer you various recovery methods saved in your profile. You'll be asked to put in the last password you can remember.

Step 3: If you can't remember any of them, click "try another way." The next option will be "Get a verification code with your phone number". Enter your phone number, and click SEND. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your Gmail password.

If you do not have a phone number, clicking Try another way or I don't have my phone, Gmail will ask a number of questions to try to establish you as the owner of the account. Once you have proceeded with your chosen recovery method, you should be able to set a new password for your Gmail account.
