Technically, your full email address or the first part of it before the @ character is your username.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Tip #3:<\/strong> In case you don&#8217;t have access to your recovery email, phone, or other option you may still be able to recover Gmail\u00ae password by manually verifying your identity. First thing you need to do is visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/accounts\/recovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Google Account Recovery<\/a> page. When there, enter your email address and click &#8220;Continue&#8221;. Click &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; option for the password and choose the &#8220;Verify your identity&#8221; option, which is a really small link under all other available options.
