I’ve seen this quite a lot on OGU, people making DD’s on the seller for having the email locked. Tbh it’s no one’s fault really, Gmail does this in order to improve privacy & security. Anyways, this method was taught to me by an old friend & ever since I used it the probability of the GMAIL getting locked reduced significantly, I always recommend this method to my buyers & they have never got their account locked.

**Step 1** : Ask the seller beforehand to link your Phone Number & email (as recovery) to the account.

**Step 2** : Tell the seller specifically to not click “this was me” (this button pops up when you complete adding the recovery & phone number)

**Step 3** : Once logging in I recommend you just waiting for a bit, go eat some chips or watch a YouTube video, act normal.

**Step 4** : After like around 15-20 minutes slowly go to change the password and once you do if you want to add 2FA I suggest you wait another 1 hour (Just to be safe)

Done!

Just remember the timing I mentioned is what I use personally. If you’re REALLY worried about the gmail being locked, I recommend you wait 12 hrs before you change anything. This is mainly applicable to older gmail accounts.

**Happy learning!**
