A recovery email is an alternate email address associated with your main account (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, etc.). Its primary purpose is to help you regain access to your main account if you forget your password, or if your account is hacked or locked for any reason. When you initiate a password reset or account recovery process, a code or link is often sent to your recovery email to verify your identity. To create or add a recovery email, the steps generally involve: ○Go to your account settings Log in to the account you want to protect (e.g., your Gmail account). ○ Look for sections like "Security & privacy," "Sign-in & security," or "Account recovery." ○ There should be an option to add or change your recovery email address. ○ The service will typically send a verification email to the recovery email address you provided. You'll need to click a link or enter a code from that email to confirm it's yours and active.
