Log in now! Google will begin removing dormant accounts

Users won't be impacted unless their Google Account has been dormant for two years or longer or if they haven't used their account to access any Google services for longer than two years.

Beginning on December 1, 2023, any inactive account, together with its contents, may be deleted.

Any Google Account that is inactive or unlogged during a continuous two-year period will be subject to it.

Before deleting accounts, Google will send a series of reminder emails to users and their specified recovery email addresses.

On Saturday, Google informed its sizable user base through email of an important change. The business raised the two-year threshold for Google Account inactivity across all of its goods and services.

The technological tsunami claims that starting on December 1, 2023, all dormant accounts and their information might be deleted.

It's crucial to note that customers won't be impacted by these changes until their Google Account has been dormant for at least two years or if they haven't used their account to access any Google services for at least that long.

Google has said that any prospective account cancellation would not happen until December 2023 at the earliest, even though the changes go into effect right now.

Google will send a series of reminder emails to users and their specified recovery email addresses (if such recovery alternatives have been supplied) if an account is flagged as inactive. Prior to any action being taken, such as content deletion or account termination, these notices will be given out at least 8 months in advance.

Once a Google Account is deleted, the associated Gmail address cannot be recovered to start a new Google Account, as the firm has made clear.

The easiest method is to login in to the account at least once every two years to maintain a Google Account's active status.
