Forgot the email address for your Google Account?

What Google's lookup needs

This route is for finding your own username, not searching for another person's account.

• Recovery contact

  A phone number or recovery email associated with the account.

• Account name

  The full name you used on the Google Account.

Find the address

Follow Google's 'Forgot email?' path.

1. Open the sign-in helper

   Select the option for a forgotten email address.

2. Verify with your recovery contact

   Use the method Google offers and enter the account name.

3. Continue to sign-in recovery

   Once you recognize the right username, return to the relevant access route.

No matching account?

Note: Check that the recovery contact and name belong to the same account. AccountsAid cannot search Google's account directory.

Find the identifier before resetting a password

Google's username lookup asks for a recovery phone or email associated with the account and the full name on it. This is a route to identify an account, not a password reset.

1. Input — known recovery contact

   Use a phone or recovery email already associated with the account you own. A newly created mailbox is not a substitute for a previously linked contact.

2. Confirm — account name

   Enter the full name on that account and follow Google's verification prompts.

3. Result — matching usernames

   If Google finds a match, identify the correct account before starting password recovery. No match does not reveal a hidden lookup option.
