Adding a new account to your Gmail can have many benefits. One of them is convenience. For example, if you have separate accounts for work and leisure, you can combine them. This means that you can then view your work account without having to log in on your holidays or days off. Adding an account to your Gmail is extremely ergonomic and easy to do. Moreover, it will save you a lot of frustration to switch between accounts.

To step

1. Log into Gmail. Just open a browser on your computer and go to www.gmail.com to visit the Gmail website. Log in to your account with your work or leisure email address and respective password to be taken to your inbox on Gmail.
2. Go to Settings'. Once you are in your Gmail inbox, look for a gear icon on the right side of the screen and click on it. When the drop-down menu appears, select "Settings" from the list of options to continue.
3. Enter your password again. This double check is a security measure for your account to make sure it is you making these changes. Enter your password when prompted and click "Sign In" to continue.
4. Go to "Accounts and Import."After you log in again, you will no longer be on the previous Settings page. However, at the top of this new page you will see different categories of settings. Click on "Accounts and Import" (the fourth option) to open new settings.
5. Go through the settings. Once the new list of settings is loaded, about halfway through the page, look for the setting named "Allow access to your account." It is followed by the "Add another account" link, which you must click.
6. Add a new account. The new screen that appears as a result of the previous step will ask which email address you wish to add to this specific account. Simply click on the field and enter the email address of your other account. Once you've done that, you need to click on the "Next Step" tab.
7. Double check the email address you entered. After you just clicked "Next step", the following question will be asked at the top of the next window: "Are you sure?" This is simply to make sure you check that the information entered is correct. Make sure everything is correct before clicking "Send email to grant access", otherwise you may be granting access to someone else.
8. Confirm the addition. After adding your spare time account to your work account (or vice versa), all you need to do is confirm the addition by logging into your other Gmail account (the one you added). Once this is done, check your inbox for an email containing a link to confirm your new addition. Click on that link and you're done.
