Change your Gmail password: on iPhone, Android, computer

If you suspect that someone is using your Gmail account without your authorization, we recommend that you change your password as soon as possible! In this article, we will explain to you how to change from your iPhone/iPad, Android or PC.

Why change your Gmail password?

Most users have only one password for their Gmail account, and some users reuse their passwords across multiple accounts. We recommend you do not reuse password for multiple accounts. If you also use your Gmail password for other accounts, any other site that's compromised using this same password will expose you to your Gmail account being hacked. This is much more common than you might expect, so make sure to diversify your passwords.
