We’ve taken that approach quite seriously. We know that it’s not a good idea to delete the label, or your email address, or anything else that’s important to you. We just need to know that we can recover it, and that we can fix it. I’d like to introduce the concept of the “recovery” here.
This is the first step. The recovery is a process that involves a few extra steps and a few extra bits of information. If you’ve lost your password or your email address, then you’re done. You can’t recover them. You can’t send your emails, you can’t delete your files, you can’t reset your password. The recovery is a second step in the process.
This process is called the recovery, and it can be a bit tricky to understand. The recovery is not something that you need to do right away. If you can fix it, then you can go back to your previous settings. But the recovery is a way to re-establish your old settings on your email account. So if you need to do this for the first time, you need to check your settings before you start.
If you need to recover your account, then yes, you can go back into your inbox and change your account settings. But if you need to do this because you accidentally deleted something or because you’ve never reset your password then you need to go to your settings before you start. The Recovery process is only supposed to be done after you have made a backup of your information.
The problem here, is that we’ve all been there. We get a message from Gmail asking us to recover our password. We click yes and try to log in, and then we can’t. The process doesn’t work because we don’t have a backup of our account. Now if you’ve lost your password, then yes, you can reset your password, but it’s going to take you a while.
In this case, you can go to your settings and reset your password. Once again, you cant. As a good example: My computer gets stuck on a password reset page because I get a message from Gmail asking me to log in. As a second example: It gets stuck when I go to my settings, and I cant. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to reset my password, and it’s been working perfectly.
A simple way to get back to the settings is to hit the little pencil icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen. If you click it, it should bring up the new password window. It should ask you if you want to reset your password. If you click yes, you can reset your password. If you click no, you can’t do this.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a reset, so I can’t say I’m intimately familiar with that workflow, but this worked for me.
I’m happy to report that the new password window works flawlessly, but I am not happy that it only lets you reset one password at a time. I know this because I tried it last week, and it had me resetting my account for the first time in over a year. This time I tried it with two different passwords, and it worked.
You can reset your password as many times as you want but the only way to recover your account is to use the reset link. If you click no, then you cant.
