Recover your Google Account password via Text Message

To remember passwords of all the services you’ve signed up with is indeed a demanding task. Even the best at the brain forgets the password anytime. And if you forget your password, you’ve to go through security questions, secondary email ID, birth date and so on.

But as always, Gmail has kicked off a new feature to recover your forgotten password via text message on your mobile phone handset. To turn this facility on for your account, Go to the password recovery options page and sign in with your username and password. Then enter your mobile phone number and click Save at the end of the page. There you are done…!!!

From now onwards, when you forget your password, enter your email ID at the password assistance page and Google will send you a recovery code.
