To check the activity on your Gmail account, including recent sign-ins and account access, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to your Gmail account by visiting the Gmail website (https://mail.google.com) and entering your email address and password.
- Once logged in, scroll down to the bottom right corner of the Gmail interface where you'll find the "Details" link. It is located just below the "Last account activity" information.i
- Click on the "Details" link. This will open a pop-up window displaying your account activity.
- In the pop-up window, you'll see a list of recent activities on your Gmail account, including the date, time, IP address, and the type of activity (such as access through a browser, mobile device, or POP3/IMAP).
- You can review the list to see if any suspicious or unauthorized activity has occurred. If you notice any suspicious activity, it's important to take action to secure your account immediately (e.g., changing your password, enabling two-factor authentication, or contacting Google support).o
- If you want to view more details about a specific activity, you can click on the "Show Details" link next to the activity. This will provide additional information, such as the geographic location and the browser or device used.t
- At the bottom of the pop-up window, you have the option to sign out of all other Gmail sessions by clicking the "Sign out all other web sessions" button. This is useful if you suspect unauthorized access to your account or want to ensure that you're the only one currently signed in.
Regularly checking your account activity is a good practice to stay informed about any unusual access to your Gmail account and to maintain its security.
