If you opened your Google account management page today, you may have noticed that it has been completely redesigned by the company.
The easiest way to access the page is to open it directly using the link https://myaccount.google.com/?pli=1, or by clicking on icon of your profile at the top and from there “Account.”
The new admin page divides your account information and settings into three main groups: Sign-in and Security, Personal Information & Privacy, and Account Preferences. If you use the page in English you will find the settings as follows: Sign-in & security, Personal info & privacy, and Account preferences.
Sign-In & Security
From the page you can set how you enter your account and security parameters. You can even use it to run a security check on your account.
The information displayed on the page has some features and links that you can edit right away.
Η connection on Google, for example, tells you when your password was last changed if you use 2 verification and when, and if there are app passwords.
You can also find all connected apps and webpages using your account.
Personal Information & Personal Data Protection
The page has five different subgroups.
Personal information displays your primary email address and phone number, options for managing your Google+ profile, and search settings.
You can disable the account history on the page that may be useful if you use services such as Google Now.
Other options listed on the page are the management of ad settings and links to download your data from Google.
Account Preferences
Preferences include the default language, the introduction of various tools, a brief overview of the storage space you use on Google Drive, and options to delete accounts or services.
The new Google account management page improves the usability of the page significantly if it contains all the relevant options on three pages instead of many smaller pages.
In the settings you will also find some new options that you did not have access to in the past. Let's say the settings to allow or block recording your history, did not exist.
