Google Adds New Password Recovery Option Via SMS

Password recovery this term might be well known to all users who owns an email. Many of us come across this term, i personally experienced a couple of times. If you lost or forget your password normally we used to click on forget password link and mention email address or Answering to  a security question to reset your password.In addition to these options Google adds a new option to recover your password: Via SMS.

Mobile phones are widely used among users around the world. Since Google decided sending recoverd password via text messages would be more convenient and easier for the user. Currently the options is only available in the US. If you are in US then login to your Google account and click on Change Password Recovery Options. Type your mobile number and current password and clicking save button you will be getting an access code in reply as an text message. Now enter the access code to login to you Google account.

If people other than US like to try this new password recovery option, use any US proxy and try it out and leave you valuable feedback and suggestions. Happy Googling :)

Very useful service from Google.
But why to US citizens only?
SMS allow you to provide a lot of good services like text2land.com service that allow you to send sms to landline phones.

There's nothing worse than losing your password. I hate it when that happens!
