When enabled, you’ll receive an email whenever a new device logs into your Gmail account.Click Next.

Read the Privacy and Terms.Most people won’t read everything, but you should click on More Options and decide whether you would like to opt-out of some of Google’s activity tracking. This will impact the personalization of ads and content, but if privacy is more important to you, then choose to not have Google save or use this data.Click Agree.

There’s no limit to the number of Gmail accounts that you can have, so if you need another one in the future, just follow these instructions again. Happy emailing!
