"I Can't Remember my Gmail Username!"

By


What happened?

So you finally decided to log in and check that email account you created months ago, when your friend finally convinced you to sign up for Gmail.  But you realize when you get to the sign in page, you don't even know your username! 

The first place to go if you have forgotten your username is to the Google Accounts page. You are asked to enter the secondary email address you provided at registration, and you are able to retrieve your username with that information.

If you didn't enter a secondary email address, then things become tricky! The first thing would be to track down a friend or colleage you have sent an email to - they can give you your email address and that will be your username. You can use that to access your account, and recover your password if necessary. If you haven't sent any emails, then don't worry too much and just sign up for another account.

Good luck!

How to create a Google account

Have you ever forgotten your username?

  • Nope - I check my email ever 5 seconds, how could I forget?
  • Sure - who hasn't?
  • What's a username?

Try to register another one, gmail will show the error message: this username is already taken. Then most probably that username is yours which you can not remember.

Hi Sanu Zone - if you have your alternate email, you should be able to enter that email address on the google accounts page https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd?servi

They will send an email to the other account with your username.

Good luck!

I was trying to retrieve my username and entered my secondary email address. I received my email, BUT there were two usernames associated with my secondary email address. Mine and someone I don't know. How did that happen? and what do I do to delete them from being associated with my account.

youtube and gmail linked, now youtube won't accept its password, it wants gmail password, though i can't remember it. so now i can't get on my youtube account to even unlink it, and neither google or youtube have a decent contact to resolve this.
