Having bought a brand new smartphone running on the Android operating system, many users are faced with the problem of not being able to add a Google account. Accordingly, because of this, there is no access to a huge number of applications in the Google Play service (formerly Market). Let's not put up with this, but let's look in detail at how to get around this error...
So, what should you do if your smartphone gives you an error about the wrong password?
Well, first of all, really check that you may be entering the password incorrectly. If you are sure that everything is correct, then the issue is Google's double authentication. For those who don’t know, this is additional account protection using a mobile phone (that is, via SMS). Many smartphones do not support it, so they display an error message. I do not recommend disabling this method of protection under any circumstances (after all, burglars do not sleep).
But Google naturally thought of everything! There is a special service for creating a separate password for your account, which we will use. First, log in to your Google account, then follow the link - https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens. Enter your password again and click “ Confirm”
«.
On the screen you will see a page called “ My Account”
".
Scroll down to the “ Application Passwords
” section.
Next, we will create a new password for the smartphone. Enter any name
and click on the “
Create password
” button.
Your smartphone password will appear immediately. Rewrite it without spaces and click “ Done”
«.
All that remains is to add an account on your smartphone. Go to Settings
››
Accounts and synchronization
››
Add an account
. Enter your email and special password. The account should now connect and sync normally! Please note that this password is only for mobile phone or tablet. On your computer, use your old password, protected by a verification code!
Greetings, dear readers of the blog site! Today we will look at the topic, “How to create a Google account: registration.” So how can you make sure that registering an account takes a minimum of time and is as simple as possible? I’ll be happy to share my personal experience with you and tell you a proven way to immediately start enjoying the privileges of a Google user. You will be surprised how easy and fast it is!
Why a Google account cannot be created on Android: reasons
An account cannot be created for several reasons:
- No active internet connection. If network access is provided exclusively in offline mode, or the settings have been changed, it is not possible to complete the procedure.
- The login information (username and password) is incorrect.
- PC operating system failure. To fix the problem, you need to restart the device.
- Age limit.
Due to age restrictions
The company strictly follows the laws. A Google account implies synchronization with YouTube, Google Play, Chrome, etc. Videos may contain materials for minors. Restrictions imposed by the corporation block access to such records. Accordingly, the age limit is quite justified.
Users may be wondering: if you register a false year of birth, how will the corporation set restrictions? The fact is that the system and built-in algorithms analyze search queries and social networks, collect information and, on this basis, decide whether you are old enough.
In the USA, for example, it is allowed from the age of 13, in Europe - from 14. Age restrictions on YouTube are noted with a special notice.
If the blocking is set, then there are not many ways to bypass the account garter.
Why am I subject to restrictions?
The answer lies in Internet activity. When registering an account from an Android device, the system analyzes previous actions, search queries and social network accounts, making an approximate conclusion about age.
In this case, deliberately overestimating your age does not help either - if the system has decided that you are still young for all the “horror of the Internet”, you will not be able to create an account. You shouldn’t try to contact technical support - they simply won’t consider this.
Help: In the United States, authorization is available from the age of 13. In Europe, valid from 14 years. A mandatory age of 18 is required to use the following services: Google Payments, AdSense, AdWords. Read more about age restrictions on the official website.

Next, in the appropriate fields, enter: date of birth, gender and your contact phone number, which will be useful for quickly recovering your account if your password is forgotten or your account is hacked. If you have a spare email address, you can enter that in the appropriate field.
Everything is quite simple and takes you a few minutes, right? Even if you are new to using a computer, tablet, or other similar Internet-enabled device, registering a new entry will seem easy.
What are Google's age restrictions?
The corporation strictly complies with the letter of the law, and it indicates the impossibility of minors gaining access to 18+ materials. Since the Google account, in addition to being linked to Android, includes synchronization with YouTube, Chrome, Google Play, Gmail, etc. – the age censor becomes appropriate. A lot of people post materials with profanity, adult content, etc. – therefore restrictions help block access to content of this nature.
By the way, in the USA, registration is available from 13 years of age. Europe from 14 years old. Blocking from 18 applies to the following applications: Google Wallet, AdSense, AdWords. YouTube also has age restrictions on content, which are marked with a special message.
The question that remains relevant is why you were placed under such a restriction. The answer is simple - the system and search algorithms analyze your traffic, search queries, social networks and form your profile, where your age is also determined. So, if the system decides that you are not old enough, then you will not be able to create a new account. The fact that you enter an obviously older age when creating it won’t even help here.
Creating an account and entering personal data
How often have you had to register your email? So creating a Google account is a similar action. When you get to the page where the registration form for a new user is located, you need to fill in all the empty fields by entering personal data.
It is logical if the account has the first and last name of its creator. Therefore, to the question “ What is your name
", it is recommended to indicate your true first and last name, for example: Sergey Ivanov. Why unnecessary complications and difficulties, right?
The next step is to select a username for further use in email. Most of the typical nicknames, unfortunately, are already taken and the system tells about this in red font. To successfully create a mail, you should supplement the desired nickname with numbers and dots; using a hyphen is prohibited. I am sure you will be able to show your imagination and choose a laconic and free account for yourself!
Try to choose a unique nickname and login to open your account; if the option is busy, you will see the following message:
Often the account option proposed by the system is not always convenient for the user and is difficult to remember, it looks unpresentable and is not at all readable. Why do you need such a complex account, right? Therefore, you can attempt to further create and select a unique nickname, supplementing it, for example, with your date of birth:
As a result, the user’s account or email address will look like this:
.
If on the device where you are trying to register a new account you have previously logged in through another account, you will see the phrase: “ Use current email address.”
mail " as shown in the example.
How to create a Google account without age restrictions
It is recommended to carry out the procedure for registering a new profile via a PC or mobile Chrome. In the case of the mobile version, go into the history and completely erase it, you can even do a “Reset”. After that, try to create again. If it doesn’t help, then in any browser version we do the following:
- We launch a standard Google search engine website.
- We are looking for the “Login” button.
- Now click on “Create an account”.
- Fill out all the forms provided. However, in the age field, enter a date no earlier than 2000. With options for children, we are limited to 2004. This will allow you to create an account, but will leave limited access to 18+ content.
- Then we link the new profile through the main settings of your Android.

A separate option would be to create a profile through the Youtube application on your phone: there you also need to select adding an account - creating a new one.
Alternatively, create a new profile via Youtube
If at a particular moment you do not have access to create a new profile, ask your friends or relatives to register by linking their data. Subsequently, the management of such a profile can be entrusted to minors. The main criterion will be whether such a person has a telephone number. This way Google will receive the data of a very real person, but anyone who has a password will be able to use the account. The only negative is that if you lose your password or number, it may be difficult to restore access to your account.
If they threaten to block your account
There is another point - blocking accounts that have been working for a long time by age. If the account already exists, then you may have received a notification that everything will be deleted in 26-30 days. This is motivated by the corporation's need to obtain your data. Similar incidents can occur when registering a child or teenager. Some, having indicated an age of 14 years or older, become hostage to a situation where their account is threatened with deletion. To prevent this, you need to do either of two options:
- Link a bank card to your account and make any transaction (donation, app purchase) in the amount of 30 cents or more. Keep in mind that the system may freeze one dollar for an extra check, but after a few days it will be unfrozen. It is recommended to check the unlocking status and learn more about transactions via credit card here: support.google.com/accounts/1333913.
- Send your documents (scanned), in our case a child, to the Google office. Using the link above, we again study the topic in more detail. If there is a need to add a couple of years, then use editors to correct the date on the scanned document. So far the operators have not looked at them very closely.
Data processing times vary. A credit card will allow you to get your account back in just a few minutes. The scan is checked longer, but within 24 hours. Although it makes sense to take holidays into account.
