【Google Account】How do I change the password and recovery email?
Step-by-step path through the Security page at myaccount.google.com to set a new password and your own recovery email.
How do I change the password and recovery email?
Both changes live under myaccount.google.com → "Security" and take about three minutes total. The steps below use a desktop browser; the mobile browser path is identical.
Change the password
- While signed in to the account, open
myaccount.google.com. - Click "Security" in the left-hand menu.
- Under "How you sign in to Google", click "Password".
- Enter the current password to confirm it's you (on the first change, that's the password from your order page).
- Type the new password twice → click "Change password".
- After the success message, older sessions on other devices get signed out — that's expected.
Change the recovery email
- Still on the "Security" page, scroll to "Ways to verify it's you" (or "How we can verify it's you").
- Click "Recovery email".
- Re-enter your password when prompted.
- Delete the existing address, enter an email inbox you use regularly → click "Save".
- Google emails a verification link to the new address. Open that email and click the link — the change only counts once the status shows "Verified".
Common questions
- Can't find the "Security" menu: make sure you're at
myaccount.google.com, not inside Gmail. In the mobile app, tap your avatar (top right) → "Manage your Google Account" → the "Security" tab. - Verification email never arrives: check the new inbox's spam folder, wait five minutes, then hit "Resend" on the edit screen.
- Current password rejected: the password was already changed or copied wrong — re-check the order page first. If it still fails, contact FoxVIP live support with your order number.
Once both are done, turn on 2-Step Verification next — the full checklist is in "How do I keep my account secure after signing in?"
