Can I use a different email address with Gmail?

Last Updated: 14th September, 2021

Sign in to your Google Account with another email address. When you create a Google Account, you automatically get a Gmail address. But if you'd rather use another email address to sign in, you can link a non-Gmail email address to the account and use it to sign in, recover your password, get notifications, and more.

Likewise, people ask, can I have two email addresses in Gmail?

You are allowed to have as many accounts as you want, and Gmail make it easy to simultaneously sign in to multiple accounts. If you have more than one Google Account, you can sign in to multiple accounts at once. Your accounts have separate settings, but in some cases, settings from your default account might apply.

Additionally, can I add a new Gmail address to an existing account? You can't change the email address on your account to an existing Gmail address, but we invite you to add a new Gmail address to your Google Account. You can't change the email address on your account to an email address that's already associated with a Google Account.
