How to log into your Gmail account on a computer or mobile device
- You can log into your Gmail, and enable Gmail automatic logins, on the app or website.
- If you logged out of Gmail, signing back into your account is easy if you know your password.
- Make sure to log out of your Gmail when using shared or public computers for security.
Gmail makes it easy to not only access your emails, but also connect to other Google services, such as Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and so on.
What's even better is that you can perform actions, like adding an event to your Calendar or sharing a Google Doc, using your Gmail account.
But before you can do any of that, you need to log into Gmail — here's how.
How to log into your Gmail account on a mobile device
