Google Account Help

Did you know?

A Google Account and a Gmail address are not the same thing.  If you have a Gmail address, you automatically have a Google Account.  But you can also set up a Google Account using any email address, i.e. bellsouth.com, att.net, yahoo.com, cfl.rr.com, etc...


To Set up a Google Account

  1. Go to Google Accounts 

  2. Enter your Email address
      
  3. Type a password

  4. Type it again

  5. Uncheck "Enable Web History"

  6.  List a date of birth (only you and Google know what it is)

  7. Type in the letters in the Security Verification (yes, they are hard to read -- deliberately)

  8. Read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (each opens in a new window)

  9. Return to the New Account form window.

  10. Click the button to create your Google account

  11. Wait to receive an email from accounts-noreply@google.com with the Subject Google Email Verification

  12. Click on the link in the Google email.

This verifies your email address and activates your Google Account.
