If asked for a “last password you remember,” type your best guess.

Avoid names, birthdays, or reused passwords.
Consider using a password manager to generate/store it.
After changing your password (do these)
Update saved passwords in Chrome/Edge/Firefox and on your phone.
Re-sign in on other apps using Google (YouTube, Drive, Maps).

Add passkeys (Security → Passkeys) for quicker, phishing-resistant sign-in.
