How to find all the devices you have signed in with your Google ID

It’s a wide known fact that Android mostly depends on Google and its services and thus when setting up a new Android phone, you are needed to sign in to your Google account before getting started. It’s not just Android phones, you can link almost any of your devices to your account with the search giant across a multitude of platforms and devices. These devices could be anything from an Android phone, iPhones, iPads, Mac, Windows, and other smart devices.

Google makes it easy to see all the devices that are logged in to your account and view their IP addresses. You can see a list of devices you’ve accessed your account from in the last 28 days The list also helps you unlink your Google account without having access to a device that has been lost or stolen. This ensures that your data and credentials are safe from any misuse.

How do you know if someone else is using your account

  • A device that you do not recognize pops up on your devices list.
  • Someone else’s device or a public computer you once signed in from is still using your Google account.
  • A device that you no longer use and formatted recently still shows up on your devices list.
  • The location from your recent activity is different from where you were at.
  • Do not recall using a particular device at the listed date and time.
  • Your account was accessed from a web browser that is not what you normally use.
