If you remotely log out of Gmail

- One of the handy features of Gmail is that you can log in anytime and anywhere. That is also one of the greatest dangers, because chances are that you log somewhere inadvertently. Problem? Potentially, yes. But luckily you can remotely log out again.

You might think from reading the above: and now, I have nothing to hide. Even if that is the case, it may be detrimental to stay logged in elsewhere. Often accounts linked together and can, for example, through your Gmail, ask your iTunes password and so on. Incidentally, it does not have to be neglect, it can also very well be that someone has given access to your account. That too is very easy to control using this method.

 Make sure you always log out when you use Gmail on another computer.

It sounds a bit illogical, but to log in to Gmail, you need to login first. Once logged in, scroll down to the bottom until you see right under the Last account activity, including the option details. Click it to open a pop-up with a list of all sessions that started recently.

In this overview you can see not only the time and location of which is logged in, but also the IP address so you can figure out if who's logged into your account, if you're not yourself. You'll also see which apps have access to your account (for example, if your apps use to clean your inbox). Now click on log out all other sessions. You will be automatically logged out of all sessions, except for the session in which you're sitting yourself. Wash your account opened by someone not authorized to have it? Change immediately as your password.

 Nevertheless forget to log out? Fortunately it remotely.
