How to Set Up a Google Account for The First Time:
• The steps of creating a Google account are super easy. As mentioned earlier, once you make a Google account, you have also created a Gmail account. In the first step, type in the top search bar “Create a Google account” or visit the following link Google.com. Then, click on Create an account, and choose from the drop-down list “for me” as shown in the previous image.
• In the next step, you need to add the details for fields for the first name, last name, and username that will appear to others when communicating with them using your Google account. Choose a password consisting of 8 numbers and letters. It should be a solid and unique password for Google to accept, then retype it again in the “Confirm” box, and click Next.
• In the last step, you need to write your phone number to link the new account to it, which is an optional step, but we recommend that you adhere to it to protect your account and to easily retrieve it in the future by phone if you forget the login details at any time. You can also choose a recovery email address to recover the new account in case you forget your password. Then, type in your date of birth, select your gender and click Next.
• In the next window, the usage policy and a set of terms that you must agree to will be displayed. Scroll the page to the bottom and click “I accept”.
• And that’s it, your new Google account has been created. If you want to open your Gmail account, click from the upper left corner on the nine horizontal dots icon and choose from the drop-down list the Gmail icon as shown in the previous image. This will then take you to your new Gmail inbox which you can customize and adjust according to your preferences.
