About recover.email

Getting locked out of an email account is uniquely awful: the account that would receive the reset link is the account you lost. And the moment you search for help, you land in one of the internet's scammiest neighborhoods — fake "support" phone numbers, paid "recovery services" that can't do anything, and SEO spam that wastes the exact minutes that matter.

recover.email exists to be the boring, honest alternative: current step-by-step guides through each provider's official recovery process, clear warnings about what doesn't work, and straight answers about when something is genuinely gone.

Our rules

• We never ask for your password, codes, or account details — nothing on this site collects account information.
• We don't sell recovery services, and we don't link to anyone who does. No one can "hack back" an account; anyone charging for that is defrauding desperate people.
• We're not affiliated with Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, Proton, or any provider. The official links in every guide go directly to them.
• We make money from clearly-marked affiliate recommendations for prevention tools (password managers, backup). Full disclosure here. Recommendations never appear inside recovery instructions.
• Guides are informational and can't guarantee recovery — anyone who guarantees it is lying.
