Logging out of Gmail remotely
Maybe you were visiting relatives and checked your email or you were traveling and used the hotel's computer. There you are in the middle of the night wondering if you just shut the browser or really logged off your Gmail account. Well worry no more. You can check if you're still logged on on elsewhere and log out from your home computer.
First you need to log into your Gmail account and scroll down, way down the screen, all the way to the bottom. On the lower right side of the screen you'll see the link for "details". Click it. A new window will appear. You can scroll through the activity log to see all of the places your Gmail account has been logged in. Use the 'Sign out all other sessions" button to do just that, log out any other sessions that you might have left open. While you're in this screen, scroll down to the bottom and make sure that you have the Alert Settings turned on so that you will receive an alert if there is unusual activity on your account. Better safe than sorry!
Happy Computing!
