Knowing how to see all devices logged into your Google account is one of the simplest yet most powerful steps you can take to protect your digital life.

From Gmail and Drive to YouTube and Google Pay, a single account connects everything, which makes it a top target for hackers. By regularly checking which devices are signed in, you can secure your data, and prevent unauthorized access before it causes serious damage.

This guide walks you through how to see all devices logged into your Google account, how to remove suspicious ones, and how to keep your account secure.

Method 1: Using a Web Browser (Desktop)

  1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/.
  2. Click on the Security tab in the left-hand sidebar.
  3. Scroll to Your Devices → click Manage all devices.
  4. A full list of devices currently (and recently) signed in appears. You’ll see details like device type, last activity, and location.

Pro tip: Hover over the device information for more granular data, such as browser type and last login attempt.

Method 2: Using the Google App (Mobile)

  1. Open the Google app in your mobile browser.
  2. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Manage your Google Account.
  4. Switch to the Security tab.
  5. Under Your Devices, tap Manage all devices.

You’ll see the same dashboard as on desktop, formatted for mobile.

How to Remove a Device You Don’t Recognize

  1. In the device list, click/tap the suspicious device.
  2. Select Sign out.
  3. Confirm the action.
  4. Immediately change your Google account password.
  5. Enable 2-Step Verification if it’s not already active.

Important: Signing out a device revokes access to Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Photos, and all other Google services on that device.

Risks of Ignoring Logged-In Devices

  • Unauthorized Access → Hackers or ex-employees could still access your files.
  • Data Theft → Sensitive emails, documents, or payment info can be stolen.
  • Location Exploits → Attackers can use your login to track approximate location.
  • Shadow Accounts → Old devices you forgot to remove can still sync data silently.

Best Practices for Account Security

  • Review devices monthly: Set a reminder to check “Manage all devices.”
  • Enable 2-Step Verification: Use SMS, Authenticator app, or a hardware key.
  • Set up login alerts: Google notifies you of unusual sign-ins — don’t ignore them.
  • Audit connected apps: In the same security dashboard, review third-party apps with account access.
  • Use a password manager: Avoid reusing the same password across accounts.
