Secure your Gmail Account

Gmail In the unfortunate event that you are unable to access your Gmail account even though you think you typed the password correctly (Yes, it can happen.Some malicious virus/hack could mess things up or you just plain forgot the password),Gmail offers to email the password to the secondary email address you have given.

If you haven't already, In Gmail go to Settings -> Account -> Change Security Question -> Secondary email:

Enter your alternate email address & Save.

You may think this is trivial, but you'll be glad you have done this if there's some problem in the future.
