Got a Backup Account? It Could Vanish Soon!

Google is introducing a new policy to delete inactive Gmail accounts that haven’t been used for over two years. This includes the removal of all associated content like Gmail, Photos, and Docs. The decision aims to improve security, as inactive accounts are more vulnerable to hacking due to outdated security measures.

To keep accounts safe from deletion, users are encouraged to stay active by sending emails or using Google Drive at least once a year. Google will send warnings before deletion, and accounts with active subscriptions or transactions are exempt. For those with multiple accounts, managing them on one device is simple, but ensuring strong device security and using a password manager is essential to maintain access.
