My Google Account Was Opened With A Stolen Yahoo Account

Here's how to change your Gmail password:

1. Click the gear icon in the upper right, then select Settings.
If you're on a mobile device, switch to desktop view for the full list of settings.
2. Open the Accounts and Import tab.
3. In the 'Change account settings' section, click Change password.
4. In the new window, enter your current password and your new password.

If your password isn't working, you'll need to go through our password recovery process. Google Apps users, please contact your organization's IT admin for help with password recovery.

1. Choose A Strong & Unique Password

Use a strong password for your Gmail account that you do not use on any other site.

2. Enable Two Step Verification

Two step verification adds an extra layer of security to your Google Account by requiring you to have access to your phone – as well as your username and password – when you sign in. This means that if someone steals or guesses your password, the potential hijacker still can’t sign in to your account because they don’t have your phone.

3. Secure Your Computer

Check for viruses and malware.

Make sure your operating system is up to date.

Make sure to perform regular software updates.

Make sure your browser is up to date.

Check your browser for plug-ins, extensions, and third-party programs/tools that require access to your Google Account credentials.

4. Check Your Gmail Settings

Use a secure connection to sign in by selecting ‘Always use HTTPS.’ option in your Gmail settings.

Click the Details link next to the ‘Last Account Activity’ entry at the bottom of your account to see the time, date, IP address and the associated location of recent access to your account
