Use Other Email Addresses with Google Account

Use an existing email address

  • try sign into gmail.com to check if your current email is already associated with Google

You don't need to have a Gmail address to create a Google Account. You can also use a non-Gmail email address to create one instead.

You can search for “free email providers” to find another email provider you like and set up an account.

Once you create a new email address, you can use that to set up a Google Account.

To use an existing email address instead of a new Gmail address:

  1. Go to the Google Account Sign In page.

  2. Click Create account.

    • From the drop down, select For my personal use.

  3. Enter your basic info.

  4. Click Use your existing email.

  5. Enter your current email address.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Verify your email address with the code sent to your existing email.

  8. Click Next. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a password and complete the process.
