How to exit your Gmail email from a computer?

From your computer

For sign out of Gmail from a computer, you must go to the main page of Gmail from the browser in which the session you want to close is open. After logging in, you should be able to see the main page of your account, from there you must click on the icon of your profile and in the drop-down menu select “close session”.

On a foreign computer

First of all the most recommended when logging into your Gmail account from a foreign device, is to use incognito mode for greater security and protection of your privacy.

On a foreign computer the procedure is the same (go to the main page and log out). When you use incognito mode, closing all windows all open sessions are automatically closed that you had in that mode, this works as a security measure although it is still the most recommended to log out as indicated above.

Switching accounts without leaving

Go to the Gmail home page from the computer and click on the user icon, in the menu that you will see open instead of selecting “Close Session” you will choose the option to Open another account.

Then the screen to log in with will appear. the secondary Google account you will open. By following the same process of logging in as any other account, you will be able to log in with another account without closing the previous one.

To switch between accounts, you just have to click on the user icon on the Gmail home screen and select the account we want to view. In a new tab the account we select will open and we can switch from one account to another by repeating the process.

How can I log out of Gmail on all devices where it is open?

It is not recommended in any way to leave the Google session open on another computer (especially in public places), but if that mistake was made there is an option to remotely close all started sessions.

To do so, we must first sign in to google account that we want to close. If you forgot your password, recovering your Gmail password is pretty easy. Then follow the next steps:

In the options account settings (Google account not your Gmail account), we go to the security section and in our devices we choose Manage Devices, finally choose the device we want and log out.

What other alternatives are there to log out of your Gmail if the others don’t work?

If you opened your Gmail account on an Android or iPhone device, to log out you must remove the account from the device where you signed in (This process does not delete your account so you should not worry). For each device the process is the same:

You must enter the Gmail application and select the icon of your profile in the upper right corner, tap on Manage accounts for this device, touch your account and choose the option to Remove Account.

As a last tip: when using a third-party computer, the most recommended is remove account from browser after logging out. To do this, just go to the page to log into a Google account and select the option to Delete Account (this process only removes your account from the browser).
