Gmail account verifying by phone?
Gmail allows you to verify 5 accounts using one phone number. Phone verification to create a Gmail account is required for some regions. Google stores your phone number to make sure that you use it for "a limited number of accounts". So, you can verify maximum 5 accounts by one phone number.
Hope this will help.

Phone number is added to add more security on Gmail account, not only this email but other email providers have this feature too. Most email providers include phone number as part of the challenged questions. Challenged questions can be customized or chosen, pre-selected in the drop down menu. The main purpose of this is to secure your account if in case there are any changes made.
This Phone verifier allows you to reset your password if you request for it. You'll get an text message from the email provider that you have enrolled your phone number with as part of your security questions and answers.
If you forget your password, you'll need to type the answer to the security questions and it'll send a text message that the password was reset. This will also notify you if there are any changes made to your password. You can add up to 5 accounts on a single phone number.

Hi Kenz,
A maximum of 5 Gmail accounts verification can be done with a single phone number, and this is done so to ensure the security of the account that is being created from being easily infiltrated into. But it is advisable that you use your phone number to verify only one account otherwise you will be reducing the security of your email account.
The whole concept of account verification was meant to boost the status of your email security and protect you unauthorized persons from accessing your email account.
Other mechanisms that have you can use to boost the security of your account include regularly changing your password and using a security pin.
Hope this helps.
