How to create a free email address?
Creating an email address is simple, quick and often free. There are several platforms that allow you to create a free email box. Here are some options:
Gmail
To create a Gmail email address, you must first create a Google account. If you already have a Google account, simply go to the Gmail service and create your address using your Google ID and password. If you don’t have a Google account, you can create one to access the Gmail address creation service.
Outlook
If you prefer Outlook, you can go to outlook.com to create your mailbox. All you have to do is choose an email address (…@outlook.com), set a password, validate and that’s it! You may need to provide some additional information, such as your first and last name and date of birth, to secure the creation of your account.
By creating an Outlook email address, you will have access to all Outlook features from anywhere, provided you have an Internet connection: inbox, calendar, tasks, contacts, etc.
Yahoo
Yahoo not only offers news, finance, weather, etc. services, but also an email service. To register, go to the Yahoo website, click on “create an account” then “register”. You will be directed to a page where you will need to fill in the following fields:
- First name
- Name
- Mail address
- Password
- Phone number
- Date of birth
Once the information is provided, click “Recognize” and “Verify your phone number”. You will receive a code by SMS from Yahoo to validate your registration. In a few minutes, you will have created your email address with Yahoo!
Important information
Whether you choose Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or another email platform, it is important to choose a “strong” password. By using different characters (letters, numbers, punctuation, lowercase, uppercase), you strengthen the security of your password and prevent attempts to hack your mailbox.
