Does google mail password expire

According to Google's official documentation, Gmail passwords do not expire by default. However, there are some scenarios where your Gmail password might need to be updated:

  1. Password reset: If you forget your password, you can reset it using the "Forgot password" feature. This will update your password to a new one.
  2. Account security: If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) and your phone or authenticator app is no longer available, you might need to reset your password to regain access to your account.
  3. Account compromise: If your account is compromised or hacked, Google might require you to change your password as part of the recovery process.
  4. Password policy updates: Google occasionally updates its password policy, which might require you to change your password to comply with new security requirements.

To check if your Gmail password has expired, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner.
  3. Select "See all settings."
  4. Scroll down to the "Accounts and Import" section.
  5. Look for the "Password" section. If your password has expired, you'll see a notification indicating that it needs to be updated.

If you're unsure about your password's expiration status or have concerns about your account security, you can contact Google Support for assistance.
