- Gmail allows you to have multiple logins running.

- That's a benefit because you can access your Gmail from multiple computers.

- At the same time it can also be a liability if you leave your Gmail account open in a remote location.

- In the center, under your email you can see that you account is logged in at another location.

- It shows the IP address and the time the account was last accessed.

- Click Details and a dialog comes up that shows you all recent activity on your account.

- Click the button to logout of all other sessions.

- Now the only copy of Gmail running will be the one in front of you at your computer.
