How To Remotely Sign Out Of Gmail From Other Devices

You can access your Gmail account from multiple devices and stay logged in simultaneously. Although convenient, it also poses a great security risk if you lose access to a device you are logged in. For example, if you access your Gmail account from a public device and forgot to logout. Anyone with access to this device will be able to access your Gmail account and even other Google services.

Thankfully, Google makes it really easy to sign out remotely from all the connected devices using a PC or mobile phone. In this post, I’ll show you how to remotely sign out of Gmail from any device on your desktop and Android phone.
