Simple instructions and nuances worth knowing.

What you need to know

Is it possible to create a Google account without a phone number
Yes. Google has not closed the ability to create accounts without entering a phone. You can still create an account without linking a number. The need to verify identity by sending a code via SMS or by calling does not always arise, but only in some cases.

Why the system asks to enter the phone and how to avoid it
This usually happens if the user has registered too many accounts, frequently entered the wrong password, or logs in from IP addresses showing suspicious activity.
There are a few tricks that will increase your chances of success. If you can't create an account without linking a number, try the following:
  • Sign out of the current one before creating a new account.
  • Connect via mobile internet or another network other than your usual one.
  • Please use a different computer or Android device.
  • Please indicate 15 years of age or younger when registering.
  • Create an account not from the Google homepage, but from the "Account" section at this link.

How to create a Google account without a phone number
You can register a Google account without a phone number from a browser on a computer or smartphone, as well as through the settings of any Android device. The algorithm of actions in all cases is not much different.

How to create a Google account without a phone number in a browser on a computer or smartphone
Follow the link and click the "Create an account" button.
Fill in your first and last name, select your username and password, and then click Next.
Enter your backup email address so that if necessary, you can restore access to your account if you forget your password. Enter your date of birth, gender and click on the "Next" button again.
Read the terms of use and agree to them by clicking the "Agree" button.
After that, the account should be ready to go. Perhaps, when you sign in again, Google will remind you that you did not provide a number and ask if you want to continue without it. Then just click "Confirm".
If a request for a number appears during registration, you will have to enter it or cancel the creation of an account.

How to create a Google account without a phone number on an Android device

Specify the age, select one of the proposed mailbox addresses or create your own. Click Next again.

Check if everything is correct and click "Next". Read and accept the terms of use by clicking the odd button.

How to secure a Google account without a phone number
An account without a verified number has drawbacks. For example, you cannot recover a forgotten password through your phone. Therefore, it is imperative to add a backup mail in the account settings, which will receive a link to reset your password.
To fully protect your new account, enable two-factor authentication. You will not be able to receive a code via SMS without linking a phone number. Instead, use the Google Authenticator app - it will display the one-time codes required to sign in to your profile.
