- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -4/+109The "Sign out all other sessions” button is a useful feature if you suspect any snooping. Next I recommend developing a button which traces the IP address (already done) of user exploiting your machine, detecting the nearest bluetooth device and if it's a phone or PDA make it vibrate just to freak em out!
- Bigpapawes1, on 07/09/2008, -2/+102Wow wish they had this about a year ago when my now ex girlfriend was reading my emails between me and ex girlfriends that took place years and years ago. Her excuse well your password got saved on my laptop so I just would take a look. Bitches be crazy.

Solve for x,
and become a billionaire. - inactive, on 07/09/2008, -0/+61Well that's dumb. How am I supposed to stalk my ex-girlfriend now?

- Rotzooi, on 07/09/2008, -4/+556909.777606 megabytes? What the hell is going on here!?
- Rotzooi, on 07/09/2008, -5/+49Excuse me, 6909.750836 megabytes. Must have made a typo.
- peaceninja, on 07/09/2008, -0/+43sure, but you can just log back in and log them out, and then change your password. if the other person has your password to begin with then you wouldn't be any more safer than you were before they rolled this feature out.

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/remote-sign- ... - Buie, on 07/08/2008, -7/+49Google is on point for this little feature. Funny thing is any email/freemail service could do this but leave it to Google to write a good press release.
- webkami, on 07/09/2008, -0/+39But that small CCTV in left top corner is still watching me....
- xaeon, on 07/09/2008, -2/+37Does this not also allow people who have managed to gain access to your account to log YOU off? That's just an extra kick whilst you're down, if you ask me.

/dyslexia - hotpuck6, on 07/09/2008, -0/+30Good thing my ex girlfriend doesn't know what an IP address is.
- norbiu, on 07/09/2008, -0/+29Crap, I'm screwed!
- NathanielJ, on 07/09/2008, -0/+28Why on earth don't attachments count? That's like saying "Does anyone need a 120 Gb harddrive? Games and movies don't count."
Of course no one has that much plaintext e-mail. Even if every e-mail that they ever received was 500 words long (much longer than the average e-mail), they'd need to have over 3 million e-mails sitting around to fill it up. When you send back and forth dozens of attachments every day though, it's a pain in the ass to try to find an appropriate place on your harddrive for each one, and it's just easier to leave them in your inbox and let Google's search feature organize it for you. - crash331, on 07/09/2008, -0/+25Is this a rolling update like most Gmail features? My account doesn't seem to have the feature yet.
edit: OK, it works in Firefox but not Opera. Why would they disable this on a per browser basis? It's a link that opens another window, not exactly browser specific. - arjie, on 07/09/2008, -0/+24That's the camera through which they see if you're a snooper or not.
- NikkiA, on 07/09/2008, -0/+20FFS, if they're going to do this, they could at least hide their own accesses to your account.
I just had the 'details' feature popup on my gmail, and checked it, to find an access to my email account from an IP other than my own (I have static IP), panicked, changed the password, ran around checking if my google checkout history showed any bad transactions, etc. Then hit dnsstuff, only to find:
IP address: 72.14.240.144
Reverse DNS: [Unknown]
Reverse DNS authenticity: [Unknown]
ASN: 15169
ASN Name: GOOGLE - EBFoxbat, on 07/09/2008, -1/+20I'd prefer it remotely short the LiPo battery and cause personal injury to whomever is exploiting my machine.
- wwwonka, on 07/09/2008, -0/+17I have to say this is one of the more exciting, useful, and just plain "duh why didn't we think of that" features that Gmail has introduced yet. I am just glad that they didn't have this back in the day when I was reading my cheating lying deceiving whoring around ex girlfriends email!!!!! ...er...I mean...yeah...great feature.
- thetanman, on 07/09/2008, -1/+17My cheating ex wife could have used this, but she was dumb enough to store her password in firefox so she probably wouldn't have used it anyways.
/***** my life - basye, on 07/09/2008, -0/+16Let's hope my father doesn't figure this feature out--snooping on his email is how we keep abreast of his online activities. Just this week he nearly fell for two separate scams on craigslist. If my sister and I hadn't known of this, he'd have been out over $7k. Beginning stages of Alzheimers is no picnic when they know how to still do some damage.
- hpfreak26, on 07/09/2008, -0/+15Would they be connecting to the internet through the same router? I assume they detect other sessions by different IP addresses.
- Archos, on 07/09/2008, -0/+14If you can't remember that you left a Gmail session open somewhere, and thus it's likely that someone has your passport, then you should just change your passport.
It's useful. For example, I once logged in to Gmail on a computer at a bank to show some business plans. When I left, I realized that I hadn't logged out. I had to wait for like an hour to talk to the person that helped me again. With this simple function, I could've just logged out on the go. - 4rp4n3t, on 07/09/2008, -0/+14Yes, attachments *do* count...
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/09/2008, -1/+14The best password is password
- darkened, on 07/09/2008, -1/+14Where's the protect from snooping by google button?
- isuisorisuaint, on 07/09/2008, -0/+12google >*
- billbugger, on 07/09/2008, -0/+12Post-It notes on the monitor:
Nigeria is Bad.
Paypal Account info is Bad
Requesting Bank Info is Bad
Installing Codecs are Bad
Etc.
That might help him. - slapded, on 07/09/2008, -2/+13This is awesome. I have been waiting for this for years.
- Duositex, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11If they managed to get your password something tells me it wouldn't be long before they reacquired it.
- STKD, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11Can I delete attachments yet?
- biznatch11, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11That grey box actually shoots a laser at you if you are logged in to someone's account without authorization.
- tiuk, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11I've had my account since late June 2004, haven't deleted anything but spam. Just under 3000 emails, 208 MB.
- msmayhew, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11From Gmail Blog:
Note: We are in the process of rolling this feature out to the latest version of Gmail, which is available for Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.
http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/remote-sign- ... - GramarNazi, on 07/09/2008, -0/+10Great, now I can find out when my girlfriend checks my email.
- jeshjohn, on 07/09/2008, -2/+11What about that dot?
- kleezy, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9Me thinks that many people will soon learn that their significant others aren't quite as trustworthy (or a little more human) than they thought.
- eryximachus, on 07/09/2008, -3/+12My fiance did that 4 months before our wedding date, and rather than risk embarrassment I married her.
Whoops. - holdencaulfield, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8I wonder how long it will be before we have access to all logins - not just the last 5.
Maybe they'll launch that right before Valentine's day... just to be *****. - unusualbob, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8I actually specifically requested this feature after my session stayed open on my girlfriends laptop and she started going through my chat and email history. OMFG that sucked...
So THANK YOU GOOGLE! - billbugger, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Teh Googles, they do nothing!
- hotpuck6, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Since december 04 i've accumulated 7k emails and that's only 344mb.
I don't really deal with attachments too often though.
and considering the attachment limit on gmail is 20mb, it shouldn't really strain you too much. - SkippyDoorknob, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Change his password
- arjung, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7go back to Opera and try it. it works for me in multiple browsers.
- LeviTheSmith, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7lysdexlia
- Pittance, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Or use the BT device to call the cops or DOS attack the host computer of whatever the snoop was using.
- DiddyWolf, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6It's not just that feature that is browser specific, it's the various versions of gmail that are. the version of gmail that loads on opera is different from the version that loads up in firefox, or IE 7, or IE 6 for that matter.
