Locked out of your Google account? Now a friend can help - here's how

A new feature called Recovery contacts lets you assign a trusted friend or family member to help you get back into your Google account. If you forget your password, lose your passkey device, or even suffer an account compromise, the people you choose can verify your identity, allowing you to recover your account. To set this up, sign in to your Google account on a desktop or mobile device.
