How Many Gmail accounts can a person have? - I assume they all have to be linked to one number?

 

Google doesn't document any limits on how many accounts an individual can open.

 

 

You can use any mobile number to verify a new account.  When you can no longer use your number, perhaps you can find someone who will help you verify further accounts.

That never happened to me because I have one gmail. But my friends tried to make one but she already had like 10. 

That's all I know!

 

She probably had a recycled number than has been used by others to create accounts.  I can guarantee that you can have more than 2 accounts (I have 4).

I JUST CREATE LIKE SIX OR MORE ACCOUNT WITH ONE GMAIL(the base is my main acc)

If u might ask how can I get new phone number, then use virtual phone number it’s free and well working.

 I could keep going and making up reasons for more Gmail accounts but I haven't seen a limit yet and I have used quite a few. Each one has been for a very good reason. In truth for security reasons you can have a separate Gmail account for each website that you log into and use on a regular basis. That's the most secure way. it doesn't stop Google from tracking all of them together, because they're all tied to a phone number more and more. When they first came out they didn't need to be but they're changing their security policies. I suspect soon you'll have to have a device beside your phone as a backup because too many things are being reliant upon a single device. If you lose your phone it's worse than losing your wallet or purse now.

 That and IoT devices with weak security and flaws, some international, have become huge security problems for consumers. The other huge security problems include routers with outdated firmware, with companies have made them end-of-life and as such they just become a waste to the environment. They could easily update the firmware but they want you to buy new products. That goes for phones also, Samsung for instance is a huge abuser as are all the android manufacturers for only providing two operant system updates when in truth they could handle about four before before the phone is just too slow to handle the operating system. It makes a huge reason why to buy Google pixel phones as they don't seem to have a limit on the number of operating systems that they publish for their phones. Other vendors are even worse providing just one update. Electronics are truly creating environmental disasters, including cords such as USB. In fact in EU just passed a law that mandates one type of cord and connection for all types of phones. They're tired of so much wire and plastic being dumped into the trash. Cinq can be said for computers, they need to become modular and upgradable versus just tossed in the trash. Keyboard and mice manufacturers need to stop using rubberized material that turns into tar after three years. The entire electronics industry needs to be re-examined for environmental waste because it's probably the biggest contributor to waste besides cars and trucks. As a world we have to stop becoming a disposable society, stop the planned obsolescence, and start planning for reusability. 

 Okay off my soapbox. Yahoo had a great idea which Google never copied and they really should have. Disposable emails. It's based upon your part of your base email address, and then you can add extensions. You on the first part of the email so nobody else can copy the prefix, and for each website you can have an extension. However innovation @Google has slowed to a crawl. If you look at their search website, it inundated full of ads and the first couple pages of sites are basically pretend sites that tend to be reviews or other click bait. most sites, even the legit one such as Tom's hardware, you can't trust anymore because they're all incentivized by either ads or money they made by clicking. the only decent consumer site is consumer reports and you have to pay for that but it's worth it. Unfortunately it doesn't provide absolute latest reviews on the latest products very quickly, and it doesn't review such things such as apps or applications.

 

You mean like the +alias that Google's had for years?
