Get Started with Google


In the past, using several different Google apps would have meant having
several different usernames and passwords. Thankfully, Google took steps
to merge all of these different accounts into one main Google account.
This means that you only have to remember one username and password
to access almost any Google product, plus it is much easier to share
information, images and other data between your devices.

Creating a Google


Account


Step 1
❱ Using any Internet
browser, navigate
to http://www.accounts.
google.com and click
on Create account in
the bottom left corner
of the screen. Now
choose to set up either
an individual or a
business account.


Step 2
❱ Enter your name into the boxes provided and choose your
preferred gmail.com email address. If the name you want is already
taken, you will be shown some alternatives; or you can try another
of your own.

Step 3
❱ Complete the
remainder of the
information, including
a phone number
and alternative email
address; useful if you
