Gmail users can now log-off their account from anywhere. Google has introduced a new feature in their Gmail website, for their users to check which IP is accessing their account. The feature also allows the user to expire all active session, so that the user has to know the password to log-in again. The best part of the tool is that, even when you have selected "remember my password" on the website, the session gets expired and the use has to reenter the password.
My Test on Mobile application:
This feature lets you check your activity on the mobile Gmail application as well. When I tried opening the official Gmail client mobile application from my mobile, the list shows access type as mobile and you can even log off from that application remotely. I opened the Gmail application on my mobile and on the website on a PC simultaneously. And tried logging off from all sessions. And next time I did some activity on the mobile application it took me to the log-in page though I have set the application to store my username and password in the local database.
This feature must be something that Google has planed far before they developed the mobile application and had their session architecture in such a way that this feature is possible without any update to the mobile Gmail application. Now, thanks for the developers at Google. I have had personal bad experience with my mobile having default login to Gmail and my friends spying my chats with my girlfriend.

That’s a handy feature, specially given how many google applications one can be using at any given time.

I use Gmail all the time, and from various computers. Love this feature, because it has always irked me when Gmail automatically pops up my email and password when I start typing it in, even if I haven’t accessed Gmail from that particular friend’s machine for months. Great for privacy, love it!

This looks like a nice feature for those people who travel a lot. Nice guide as well. I will try it out sometimes to see how it works.

I almost had a remote log off the other day….my Gmail login suddenly came with a captcha and once I’d entered that I got an message “your account is disabled”.
Three hours later and all was well, with no explanation - scary stuff!

I like this new feature. Google doesn’t stop surprising their users. It is so comfortable to be able to log-off my account from anywhere.

Cool feature Google released. I didn’t know this feature even existed, so I will make sure to use this so nobody else is checking out my mail. Sucks to hear that other are spying on your chats, but at least this can prevent any more spying.
