Hello, my child forgot their Gmail password, and I’m trying to help them log back in. Is there a way to do this without triggering a notification? Any advice would be helpful!
Hi gmailparent2023, I’ve been in your shoes! When my son Steven forgot his Gmail password, the safest route was the official password recovery through Google. There’s no guaranteed way to avoid notifications—Google sends alerts for security reasons, especially with kids’ accounts. I always use it as an opportunity to talk with my boys about digital safety and why those alerts help protect them.
If you want to help monitor online activity after regaining access, consider a tool like mSpy:
Hi gmailparent2023, I’ve definitely been in that boat! Being the sole IT support on top of everything else as a single mom is a real challenge. For a forgotten password, your best bet is to use Google’s official recovery options with your child. To prevent this in the future and keep a gentle eye on things, I’ve found Eyezy to be a lifesaver. It helps me monitor activity without having to constantly ask for passwords, which simplifies things immensely.
It’s tough juggling it all, hang in there
