Note:
When setting up a new Google Account, either on your phone or online, you will be
prompted to add a secondary email address. Enter a second Gmail address or any other email
address from which you currently send and receive email. This address is used to authenticate
your account should you ever encounter problems or forget your password. It is strongly
encouraged for Android users so you can regain access to Google services and purchases on
your phone.
