🔐 How to Logout Your Google Account from All Devices: A Step-by-Step Guide
Your Google account is the gateway to services like Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, Maps, and more. When you sign in on multiple devices—phones, tablets, laptops—your account stays logged in unless manually removed. If you’ve lost a device, used a public computer, or suspect unauthorized access, it’s crucial to log out of your Google account from all devices remotely.
Here’s how to do it step by step.
📱 Why Should You Logout from All Devices?
Logging out of all devices is important when:
- You’ve lost a phone or laptop
- You’ve used your account on a public/shared device
- You suspect someone else has access to your account
- You’re selling or giving away a device
- You just want to tighten your security
✅ Step-by-Step: Logout Google Account from All Devices
🔹 Step 1: Go to Your Google Account
- Open your web browser and go to myaccount.google.com
- Sign in with the Google account you want to manage.
🔹 Step 2: Open “Security” Settings
- In the left-hand menu, click on Security.
- Scroll down to the section called “Your devices”.
- You’ll see a list of all devices where your Google account is currently signed in.
🔹 Step 3: Review Devices
Each device will display:
- Type (e.g., Windows PC, Android, iPhone)
- Last activity time
- Location (if available)
- Browser or app used
👉 Note: Some devices may show as “Unknown” if Google can’t determine the type.
🔹 Step 4: Sign Out of Devices
- Click on any device in the list that you want to sign out from.
- Click Sign out.
- Confirm by clicking Sign out again in the pop-up.
Repeat this for every device shown—or for all unfamiliar ones.
🔒 You cannot log out of all devices at once with a single click, but you can revoke access to your account, which effectively logs devices out (see below).
🔹 Step 5: Change Password (Optional but Recommended)
To force all devices to sign out immediately, do this:
- Go back to the Security tab.
- Under “Signing in to Google”, click Password.
- Enter a new password and save.
This action invalidates all sessions, forcing every device to re-enter your new password.
🔄 Alternative: Use Google Account Activity Page
You can also visit:
🔗 https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity
This gives a condensed list of devices and allows you to:
- Sign out
- See app/browser activity
- Spot unauthorized access
📩 What Happens After Signing Out?
- The account is removed from the selected device.
- On phones or tablets, synced data like emails, contacts, and calendar will no longer update.
- You’ll be prompted to re-enter your password next time you access a Google service on that device.
🧠 Pro Tips for Account Security
- Enable 2-Step Verification: Adds an extra layer of protection with SMS or authenticator codes.
- Review “Third-party apps with account access” regularly.
- Set up alerts for suspicious login attempts under Security > Recent Security Activity.
📌 Final Thoughts
Whether you’re switching devices, tightening your online security, or cleaning up unused logins, knowing how to log out your Google account from all devices is a vital digital hygiene practice. By managing your device list and changing your password when needed, you can ensure your account stays safe and accessible only to you.
