&#62; You can use alternate email addresses to sign in to your Google Account, recover your password, and more.<p>Since a lot of us rely on Google apps, I strongly recommend if you use one - that your alternate email address cannot be compromised by weak password reset rules (e.g. a web email provider like HoTMaiL that has guessable secret questions). Ideally, you would use a more-secure email (company email that requires VPN and/or two-factor authentication).
