Instead, you have to create an entirely new account - which means I also have to create a new Google+ account. I contemplated creating a hotmail account or yahoo account but just couldn't do it. I've had gmail since college and am not ready to give up that history. I would keep the same email address, but since it includes my maiden name I've decided after 14 months of marriage it's time to get with the times. It's going to be a slow transition but it's now or never. Thank you Google for owning the Internet and making this as difficult as possible.
