2. Navigate to the "Accounts and Import" Tab:

• In the Settings window, find and click on the "Accounts and Import" tab.

3. Click "Sign in to Google":

• Under the "Sign in to Google" section, you'll see a link that says "Sign in to Google." Click on it.

4. Enter Your Current Password:

• A new window will open, prompting you to enter your current Google account password. Type it in and click "Next."

Additional Tips:

• Use a Strong Password: Avoid using easily guessed passwords like birthdays or names.

• Avoid Sharing Your Password: Never share your Google account password with anyone.
