Every Gmail account from BuyGmailAccounts starts with an address and a password. What follows them decides how the second step of the sign-in goes, and three of those extras look alike. This guide shows the three shapes and tells the lookalikes apart.
Reading your line

| Used for | Paste into the generator to get a 6-digit code | Mail programs and SMTP, in place of the password | Type one in when Google asks for a code |
| Web sign-in | Yes, through the code | No | Yes |
| How often | A new code every 30 seconds | Every time | Each code works once |
Signing in
- Open accounts.google.com. Enter the address, then the password.
- If Google asks for a 6-digit code and you have a 2FA key, paste the key into the online 2FA code generator and type the digits it shows.
- If you have backup codes instead, choose to try another way and enter one 8-digit code. Cross it off.
- If Google asks to confirm the recovery email, type the recovery address from your line.
When it does not work
The app password is refused on the web. It is not meant for it. Use the password on the web and the app password in mail programs.
The 6-digit code is refused. Generate a fresh one and type it before it changes.
Too much was copied. Tabs look like spaces. Copy each field on its own.
Warranty
If an account does not work the way its listing says, open a ticket from your order page within the warranty window shown on the listing. Name the account and attach a screenshot. It is replaced from the same listing, or refunded if the listing has run out. Signing in never voids the warranty. Bans caused by bulk or automated activity are not covered. Every listing is in the catalogue.
