Add recovery options to your administrator account

Not required for the initial administrator. If you're the administrator who signed up for your Google Cloud account, you already supplied recovery information when you signed up so you don't have to add it as described here.

If you were granted administrator privileges to your Google Cloud account by another administrator, be sure to add a recovery phone number and email address to your account. That way, if you forget the password to your account, you can click the Forgot password? link on the sign-in page and we'll send you a verification code via your choice of phone, text, or email. You can then reset your password to get back into your account.

Add recovery information to your account

You can use a phone number or email address to get back into your Google Account if you can't sign in. For details, go to Set up a recover phone number or email address.

Note: Account recovery for super administrators must be turned on to make recovery options available to super administrators. If account recovery is turned off, see these other ways to reset passwords.
