Gmail's New "Recovery Contacts" Feature
Gmail's "Recovery Contacts" feature allows users to regain access to their Google account during an emergency by reaching out to a trusted contact.
For years, Google users have been requesting a feature that enables trusted friends and family to assist them when they're locked out of their account.
The "Recovery Contacts" feature solves this problem by allowing users to select a trusted friend or family member ahead of time to help them recover their account.
Google saw this problem and added a "Recovery Contacts" feature where you pick a trusted friend or family member to help you get your account back.
Previously, regaining access to a Gmail account required access to a recovery email and phone number, or a two-factor authentication on a device that may not be available.
