The Gmail team rolled out a new feature which will is helpful for security. It’s not a drop in the bucket that you’ll never get hacked, but this is a great tool that will let you know who is logging on to your account and from where, using which protocol.
Aside from being able watch over the sessions, if you feel there is an actual security threat to your account, you can “log off other sessions” so that you’re the only session, then attempt to change the password on the account.
This is a great security measure that Google is taking because more and more things are becoming tied to Gmail accounts [or Google accounts] and for someone to breach access to an account would horrific for some people.
If you have the feature for your account already, you can can click on “Details” in the footer of the page and it will popup a window with the information as described above.
