Gmail Tips

Sign out of all Gmail sessions

As an added security measure, it's a good idea to sign out of your Gmail or Google Apps account before you close your browser.

To sign out of Gmail or Google Apps, click on your email address in the top right of your screen and select Sign out.

You may not want to sign out each time when using your own PC, but it is particularly important to sign out if you are accessing your account on a shared computer or public network. However, if you forget to log out, you can log out of all previous sessions the next time you are at a computer.

To do this, open your Gmail or Google Apps account and click on the Details link in the bottom right of your screen. This will open up a pop up window where you can see recent activity, whether your Gmail or Google Apps account is open in any other location, and choose to Sign out of all other sessions. Clicking that button will ensure all your previous Gmail and Google Apps sessions are logged out, leaving you logged in to the current computer only.

Can google provide an easier access at the top of the page to "log out" of your account when you have accessed it from a computer? I want to make sure my browser is logged out, but I want my android phone to still be logged in, I'm confused if I can log out of all sessions if it logs out my phone gmail acct which I do not want that to happen....I'll try it, but the info I'm finding online isn't clarifying this. Thx!
