Make sure the browser works with Gmail. Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari work well with Gmail, but some browsers don't. If you have problems and you know the browser is compatible, enable cookies and JavaScript. Use another browser or device.

Go to http://accounts.google.com/signin/usernamerecovery and enter any email accounts or phone numbers that you've had for a while and which may have been used as recovery info. The “find your email” page can help you locate any forgotten Google accounts.

A Google Account gives you Google-wide access to most Google products, such as Google Ads, Gmail, and YouTube, using the same username and password.

Tap the Gmail app icon on your home screen or in the App Drawer. Tap Sign in. It's at the bottom of the screen. If you aren't currently logged into your preferred Google Account on your Android, you can instead tap Add another email address, tap Google, and enter your email address and password when prompted.
