# How to create a gmail account

Email is a common form of communication for both personal and professional purposes, but a rising number of service providers now demand the usage of a phone number to open an account. There are several reasons why someone might desire to create an email without a phone number, chief among them being concerns over personal data, but this may be due to good intentions, as we'll discuss shortly.

Due to their uniqueness, phone numbers can be used to identify specific people. On the one hand, this implies that they can be applied to user authentication and account protection. On the other hand, tying them to online accounts can result in invasive data collection, a sizable digital footprint, and an increased risk of data breaches.

One of the most noteworthy large-scale data breaches in recent years included an email provider, in which at least 500 million Yahoo! accounts' credentials, including, you guessed it, user phone numbers, were taken.

Even if you aren't worried about a data breach, it is usually preferable to be able to set up email without a phone number, especially if it is a second or even third email account. As a result, we analyzed some of the top services for setting up new emails without phone numbers. The benefits of having a phone number, the standards we used to evaluate the email providers, and a detailed analysis of each provider are all covered below.
