If you remember, we published a tutorial describing how we can remove and sign out of Google account on Android. The present guide will focus on the ways to sign out or log out of Android devices remotely using some other Android device or a computer. Having done that, no one will be able to access the Google account you use on your Android when your phone is not with you.
These days we tend to have so many online accounts that remembering passwords, and managing those accounts is a hassle. It’s a lot easier to just stay logged in that login everytime you want to see your emails. This practice is more or less safer when you’re on your home computer or your smartphone. If you logged into your Google account on a public computer, or if any of your devices get lost or stolen, access to your Google account can cause all kinds of troubles. You’ve probably got your important e-mail on Gmail, files on Google Drive, photos on Google photos, and probably a lot more data. It’s a good thing you can always log out of your Google Account on Android devices remotely.
Sign Out or Log Out of Android Devices Remotely – Devices
Follow these steps to log out of Android device remotely using another Android or a PC.
- Google allows users to manage their Google accounts from any device as long as it is connected to the web. From a web browser on your phone, tablet or computer, visit myaccount.google.com/security.
- Scroll down to the Recently used devices section and click REVIEW DEVICES.
- Here, you will find a list of all the devices you’ve used to log into your Google account. Tap or click on any of the devices to expand the listing. You can then view your last activity on it, its model, location, type of browser etc. Along with all that, you should also see a red REMOVE button next to Account access for iOS, Android and Chrome OS devices.
