How To Know Who Signed-in To My Gmail Account In My Absence?

What I am going to tell you isn’t rocket science, but I still wonder why people keep on asking this on blogs and forums; even I got several emails from my readers asking me whether there’s a way to check who signed-in to their Gmail account while they were away? Is there any way they could check/verify when and who logged into their accounts?

Yes, there is! There’s no trick and no hack involved. The only ingredient that you’ll need is ‘Attentiveness‘. You’ll see what I mean; here’s is what you have to do;

Note: This post does not help you against hacked accounts. For more tips and tricks, visit.

1. Sign-in to your account,

2. Scroll down and the end of the page,

3. Look for ‘Last account activity‘ as illustrated in the screen shot,

This displays your when you last logged-in to your account. If for instance, you have logged-in after 10 hours or so, while the counter displays something else. You’ll know some one else has signed-in while you were away.

4. If you want more details such as, Date & Time, IP Address, and browser information; simply click on the ‘details‘ link.

If you look at the screen shot above, you’ll notice that Google keeps track of all the necessary information. If you find any thing suspicious going on, change your password as soon as possible before matters get even worse.
