0Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is the step to "Use your existing email" so important?
This step is crucial because it allows you to link your business email to a free Google account. Without carefully selecting "Use your existing email," you might not be able to achieve this setup.
- Why do I need a US Mobile cell phone number for verification?
You need a USA (or the appropriate region) cell phone provider issued number to verify your account due to spam and abuse prevention measures implemented by Google. This number is used for initial verification and is different from the recovery phone number.
- Why is setting up an authenticator recommended?
Setting up an authenticator, such as 1Password, adds an extra layer of security to your account. It requires a one-time password (OTP) from an app, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account, even if they have your password.
