What does Google’s inactive account policy say?
Google has talked about deleting inactive accounts in one of its blog posts. Users who have not used their account for the last 2 years will be locked out. That is, if you have not logged in with your account for two years or more, then Google will close it by December 2023.
If you have not used Google’s features for a long time, then this can happen to you too. Google account means your Gmail account, many people create an account on Gmail and leave it like this and do not use it. Whether we do this to take advantage of the free 15GB of storage or to separate our business and personal accounts. If you have forgotten to create an account, now Google will also forget you.
What is the reason behind Google doing this
According to Google, it is taking such a step to further strengthen the security of its accounts. Not being able to enable 2-Step Verification (2FA) of accounts is also the biggest reason for their deletion. According to Google, these types of accounts are 10 percent of the total accounts, which are easily targeted by hackers.
Will all accounts be closed at once
Not at all, this figure is only 10 percent to see, but this number is in crores. Google will do this process in several steps. First of all, those accounts will be deleted, which have been used only once. On other accounts, if the user has added a recovery email, a notification will be sent to it. If you do not give any response, then the story of your account is over.
