How to Find Your Google or Gmail Account Creation Date

Almost every internet user has a Google account and uses one or more services—daily. Sometimes, during the recovery phase, it is often asked to provide a rough guess of your account creation date. Do you remember your Google account creation date? Well, most of us don't remember it as it appears, there's no reason to do so. But, there's an easy way to find out the Google account creation date. It's dead simple which gives you the accurate date as well as the time when you created your account. Along with this information, you also get information about account recovery and a brief detail about your account logins for the past few months. I'll suggest saving this critical information in a safe place as you may need it future during an emergency while trying to recover your Google account. This information also includes the IP address from which you created the Google account. The information you get through the process mentioned below is Google's proprietary, so make sure you do not share it with anybody else.

If you're a Google service user, I'll strongly recommend extracting this information for future use. It'll save you from losing your account in case you're locked out of your account for some reason.

Thereafter, scroll down to the bottom and click the Next step button.

On the export settings page, you can change the settings of your data download. I've left the default setting as it is though you can change it as per your needs. Now, click the Create export button.
