Note: It is better not to follow the verification link and instead login with the correct account in your browser first, then use the code there. We will do this in the following steps.
Otherwise, your browser might get the Gmail accounts mixed up.
If you followed the link and everything worked, that is fine, of course.
Option: As an alternative to the somewhat convoluted process that follows, you can wait for your new Gmail account to import the verification message and follow the confirmation link from there.
