Forgetting to sign out of Gmail on an unknown computer can be a huge privacy risk. Luckily, its easy to sign outfrom a device that you no longer have access to. Here are four ways to sign out of Gmail.

How to Sign out of Gmail on the Web

When youre done using your Gmail or Google account, always remember to log out of the account if youre on a shared computer. Simply closing the Gmail tab will not sign you out of the account.

To sign out of Gmail on the web, open the Gmail website in the browser where youve logged in. Next, click the Google Profile icon in the top-right corner of the window and select the Sign Out button.

[If youre logged in to multiple accounts, this button will read Sign out of All Accounts instead. Youll have to sign out from all accounts, since theres no way to selectively log out of multiple accounts from this page.]

And instantly, youll be logged out of the browser.

But the browser will still remember your email address [but not your password] to help you log in quickly. If youre privacy-conscious, its best to remove your account altogether from the browser.

On the Choose an Account screen, click the Remove an Account option.

Next, click the red remove icon [a minus symbol in a circle] next to the account.

In the pop-up, click the Yes, Remove button to confirm.

Your account will be fully removed from the browser.

How to Sign out of the Gmail App on iPhone and iPad

In the Gmail app for iPhone or iPad, you can sign out in one of two ways. You can temporarily pause your Gmail account, or you can completely remove the account from the device.

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Gmail app and tap your Google Profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.

In the menu that appears, tap the Manage Accounts on This Device button.

Youll see a list of all the accounts that are added to your device. If you want to temporarily disable an account, tap the switch beside the account name.

To fully sign out of the device, tap the Remove from This Device button.

In the pop-up, confirm using the Remove button.

Gmail will now completely sign out from the account. Tap the Done button at the top of the Manage Accounts page to go back to the Gmail home screen.

How to Sign out of the Gmail App on Android

The Google account [along with Gmail] is deeply linked to the Android operating system. And the only way to sign out of Gmail is to sign out of the entire Google account on Android.

Tap the Manage Accounts on This Device option.

This will open the Accounts screen in Settings. Tap the Gmail account that you want to log out from.

Next, tap the Remove Account button.

In the pop-up, tap the Remove Account button again to confirm.

The Google account will be removed from your Android smartphone, and you will be logged out of the Gmail app as well.

How to Remotely Sign out of Gmail on a Lost or Missing Device

You can use the device management feature in your Google account to log out of a device even if you dont have access to it. If you lose your laptop or smartphone, this option will come in handy.

Open the Gmail account in your browser, click the Google Profile icon in the top-right corner, and choose the Manage Your Google Account option.

Select the Security tab, and then click the Manage Devices button at the bottom of the Your Devices section.

You will now see a list of all the devices that are currently logged in to your Google [and Gmail] account. Find the device that you want to sign out of, click the Menu button [three dots], and choose the Sign Out option.

In the pop-up, click the Sign Out button to confirm.

Your Google Account will be signed out from the given device. Repeat these steps with any other devices that you want to remotely sign out from.

Now that your Gmail account is safe from prying eyes, you should take some time to secure your Google account. Simply doing a security audit and enabling two-factor authentication will do wonders when it comes to protecting your Google data!
