Logging out of Google remotely
To log out of Google, all you have to do is to log in to Gmail (on the desktop) and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click the “details” link below the “Last account activity.”
On the window that pops up, click the “Sign out all other sessions” button.
That’s it.
Logging out of Facebook remotely
Log in to your Facebook account and click the Down arrow at the top right corner of the menu bar. Select Settings.
Go to the “Security” settings and click the section “Where you’re logged in.”
From here, you can view which PC, location and time that you are logged in. Click the “End Activity” link to log out of that session.
That’s it.
Other web services
Dropbox
Log in to your Dropbox account on your desktop browser and click on the “Settings” link under your name. Go to the “Security” tab. Scroll down the page and under “Sessions” you can find all the logged in sessions.
To logo ut of Dropbox on another browser, click the cross beside the entry and you are done.
Twitter and LinkedIn
Unlike Google and Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter doesn’t come with a way to detect sessions on other PCs and allow you to logout remotely. However, if you change your LinkedIn/Twitter password on any browser, it will automatically close all active sessions. Note: We will update this post as we uncover more apps that allow you to log out from sessions remotely.
Conclusion
It would be great if all web apps came with a way for you to log out of sessions remotely; unfortunately, only a few of them do. It is, thus, very important for you to remember to log out of your accounts when you are done with your session, even on your own computer.
