3. Gmail Account FAQs

Is a phone number required to set up a Gmail account?

No, a phone number is not mandatory. You can use an alternate email for verification during the setup process.

Can I secure my email address without a phone number?

Yes, but you will need to provide a secondary email for secure access and recovery.

Why does Google still ask for a phone number?

Ensure you follow the steps correctly, as any minor oversight could require phone verification. Note that an active VPN may affect your ability to create an account.

Can I use the same phone number for multiple Gmail accounts?

Yes, if you're using a real number, you can link it to more than one Gmail account. Avoid using temporary numbers as Google may flag them.

Can I use my backup email for multiple Gmail accounts?

Absolutely! A backup email can be used to create multiple accounts, ensuring easier recovery without the need for a phone number.
