Gemini Account Safe Usage Guide

This guide is intended to reduce the probability of triggering risk control or account suspension for Gemini accounts. It does not represent official rules and does not guarantee that following this guide will prevent suspension 100%. Please use your account in a compliant and responsible manner.

Core Principle:

During the early stage of a new account, maintain “light usage, a stable environment, and low abnormal behavior” to minimize the risk of triggering risk control.

Usage Recommendations / High-Risk Behaviors

✅ Recommended Actions

• Keep the usage environment stable for the first 7 days: Use the same device and the same network environment as much as possible
• Maintain normal usage behavior: Search for information, use Gmail, watch YouTube, and use Gemini normally
• When verification prompts appear: Complete verification as instructed on the page (this helps improve account credibility and stability)

❌ High-Risk Behaviors (Avoid if Possible)

• Making intensive changes to personal information or security settings immediately after login (changing too many items in a short period)
• Frequently switching devices to log in within a short time
• Repeatedly attempting to log in when “abnormal login / verification loop” occurs
• Continuously refreshing or resubmitting when the verification code is not received (may trigger stricter checks)

Stage One: Initial Login Setup (Critical Period)

Goal:

Allow the system to recognize the account as a “real, stable, and normal user” before gradually completing security settings.

Important Reminder:

Do not modify all information and security items at once after the first login. It is recommended to complete them in stages.

1) Days 0–3 After Login: Only Perform Low-Risk Settings

• Prioritize setting up: Recovery email and recovery phone number
• If “device verification / not-you prompt / abnormal login” appears:

Maintain normal usage on the current device for 2–3 days (such as searching, Gmail, YouTube, Gemini) and proceed with further actions after stabilization

2) After 7 Days of Login: Proceed with Sensitive Settings

• Change the account login password
• Enable two-step verification (recommended: authenticator app ＞ SMS verification)

Stage Two: About Phone Number Verification

Phone number verification during login, password changes, or security setting updates is a common risk control measure. Completing it properly usually helps improve account stability.

What Should You Do When Phone Verification Is Required?

• Follow the instructions to enter your real personal phone number and complete verification
• One phone number can usually be linked to up to 4 Google / Gemini accounts (subject to system prompts)

What If You Do Not Receive the Verification Code?

Common Causes:

• Unstable network quality
• Too many verification requests for the same phone number in a short period

Suggested Solutions:

• Pause operations and try again after 24 hours
• Use another phone number to re-verify
• If repeated failures occur on the web version (such as CAPTCHA loops):

Try logging in through mobile apps (Gmail / Google Play) to trigger verification, which usually has a higher success rate

Stage Three: Daily Usage Guide to “Reduce Account Suspension Risk”

1) First 7 Days (Stabilization Period)

• Keep devices consistent: Avoid frequently switching between phones or computers to log in
• Maintain natural usage behavior: Focus on real daily usage (searching, checking emails, watching videos, using Gemini) and avoid abnormal high-frequency operations in a short time
• For VPN users (only applicable if you use a VPN):
• Try to use the same country/region node and avoid frequent switching
• Avoid “jumping” between countries in a short time (for example, being in Country A one minute and Country B the next)
• If you must change nodes, allow a longer interval before logging in or operating again, and keep the environment stable afterward

2) Common High-Risk Behaviors (Avoid if Possible)

• Abnormal login behavior: High-frequency logins across multiple regions or devices
• Policy-violating behavior: Mass spam sending, bulk account registration, abnormal automation, impersonation / phishing / malicious content publishing
• Associated risks: If a linked phone number or recovery email account is suspended, it may trigger related risk control actions
• Long-term inactivity: Long periods of inactivity may lead to data cleanup or account recovery risks. Regular normal usage is recommended

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: Can I link my own phone number or email address?

A: Yes. This usually does not affect normal usage. Simply complete verification according to system instructions.

Q: Can I continue using a phone number that is already linked to other Gemini / Google accounts?

A: Yes, as long as it does not exceed the system’s maximum allowed number (usually up to 4, subject to system prompts).
