How to find a Gmail address (forgotten email address)
Let's start immediately with the resolution of one of the most common problems. I'll explain in the following lines how you can find the username of the email address and thus be able to re-enter your account relating to Google services, including Gmail.
If you need to find the username of your e-mail account you must first connect to the Internet page relating to the assistance and recovery section of a Gmail account, made available by Google.
How to do? Open the browser you usually use to browse (for example Google Chrome or Safari) and click on this Internet page which leads to the page dedicated to restoring your Google account.
Once you have landed on the web page in question, all you have to do is follow the reset procedure for your account to the letter which you can see in the screenshot Account Support. The first thing you will be asked to indicate, in order to retrieve your email address, is the username you registered.

You will then be asked to type thelast password that you remember associated with your account. Enter it in the text field you see on the screen and press the button NEXT.

For example, you will have to indicate the approximate month and l 'year where you created the Google account you want to find, or use another email address of your choice for account recovery.

It would be better if that email address was linked to the Gmail account you want to find, but it's not essential.

If, on the other hand, you want to try an alternative way to find the Gmail email address that you have lost, but you have not associated any phone number to your account, and therefore you cannot follow the procedure I indicated in the previous lines, I will explain how to do it.
Go back to the Internet page related to the recovery of the Gmail account and click on the entry Find my account. You will now need to attempt recovery through an alternate email address or with alternative phone number.
It is absolutely important that, even at this stage, you enter an email address or mobile number to which you have access. Then enter the required data in the text fields you see on the screen and press the button NEXT. Finally, it indicates the name e last name associated with the Google account to be recovered.
In case you have indicated an alternative email for recovery, by pressing the button Forward, Google will send an email containing a one-time code that you can use to log into your account.
If, on the other hand, you had indicated a mobile number for recovery, you will then need to verify it through a captcha code and press NEXT.
Note that this is the last option you have to verify your account. If you do not have any of the requested data, I recommend that you contact Google support.
