The video shows a first-time login to a G Suite (now Google Workspace) account, not a standard personal @gmail.com account. The process is slightly different. Here's a breakdown:
Navigate to Gmail: Open a web browser and go to gmail.com.
Please enter your full email address: This is crucial for G Suite/Workspace. It's usually in the format yourname@gtscarrier.com, not yourname@gmail.com. Click "Next".
One-time setup (if applicable): If this is the very first time logging into this specific G Suite account (as shown in the video), you might be presented with a welcome screen and prompted to:
Review Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Click "I agree."
Set a new password (you'll be required to create a strong one). Confirm the password.
Enter your temporary/initial password: This is the password provided to you by your G Suite/Workspace administrator (who set up your account). Click "Next".
Two-factor authentication (2FA) setup (likely): Google will highly likely require you to set up 2FA for security. It will ask you to ENROLL into a 2-step Authentication. Click "Enroll" then click on "Turn on 2-Step Verification" add your phone number, verify it with G code, and it is done.
Review your recovery options: Make sure your recovery phone number and/or email address are correct. This is essential if you ever forget your password.
If you skip enrollment, you can go to: myaccount.google.com/security and finish the process manually.
Welcome to Gmail!: You should now be logged in and see your Gmail inbox.
