Email services have become an integral part of our daily internet consumption, and that has only been exacerbated by the high number of Email services on offer today. If you ever switch your email ID or find it to have been hacked, then it becomes a cumbersome task to log it out of all your devices. In this article, we will look at the steps you need to take to log out of your Email account on all your devices. We will be covering the most commonly used Email services – Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook.
How to log out of your Email account on all your devices
There isn’t a centralized option present in any of the apps that would just help you log your Email address out of all the devices synced in with it.
How to log out Gmail account from all devices
To remove an existing Gmail account from being logged in across devices, you can use the ‘Your Device Activity’ website. If your Gmail address is logged into multiple laptops and mobile devices, then your devices will be categorized accordingly.
- Open the Your Devices Google page
- If you aren’t signed up on the browser you’ve used to open this link, do so. Once you have done that, it will show you all the devices on which your Email account is logged in
- Select the devices that have shown up one by one and click on ‘Sign Out’. If you find something fishy about a particular account having your account logged in, you can click on ‘Don’t recognize something?’
While there isn’t a direct option for users to log out of all their devices at once, this is the quickest way for you to remove your account from every device that it is synced in with.
