⏵ OVERVIEW
Need a separate inbox for work, a child, or a side project? This Gmail tutorial shows how to create a second Gmail account without signing out of the one you already use. You can add more than one Gmail address to your browser profile and switch between them from the account menu in the upper right.
Start from Gmail while logged into your current account. Click your profile picture in the upper right. Your menu may look different if you only have one account, but look for Add another account and select it. Gmail opens a sign-in screen where you can log into an existing address or, at the bottom, choose Create account to register a brand-new Gmail address.
On the Google account setup flow, pick the account type that fits your situation, such as personal use for yourself or a family member, or options suited to work and business. Enter the name you want on the account, which does not have to match your legal name. Continue with birth date and gender, then choose your Gmail username. Google checks availability in real time. If an address is taken or not allowed, try another name or add numbers until you reach the password step.
After you set a strong password, Google may walk you through a few security prompts. Some steps are optional and can be skipped. Verification may ask for a phone number. You can link multiple Gmail accounts to the same phone number over time, but Google limits how many new accounts you can create back to back with one number, so wait between signups if you hit that limit.
When setup finishes, your new Gmail account stays separate from the inbox you started in, and you can add even more accounts the same way. That is the full workflow for how to create a second Gmail account, add another Gmail to your profile, and manage multiple Google accounts from one place.
