There is a new way of password recovery using SMS introduced by Google.
This is what Google had to say for introduction of this recovery method “Since most people use cell phones these days, we decided text messaging would be an easy, convenient addition to our password recovery options. To set up password recovery via your mobile phone, just sign in to your account and click Change Password Recovery Options. Enter your mobile phone number and current password and then click Save. If you lose access to your account for any reason, you’ll be able to regain access by entering a code we’ll send in a text message.”
You can reach this Page to set your Mobile number for receiving the code to regain your account, by going to https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount and then by clicking on “Change password recovery options” under “Personal Settings”. This would take you to a page where in you need to provide your credentials and then you will be able to set “SMS recovery mode” by providing your Phone Number. This currently works only in the US.
Certainly an innovative way to recover password. I am waiting for this feature to be enabled in India.
