Smart Security: Enable Auto Logout for Gmail When Closing Your Browser


Logging out of your Gmail account when you're done using it is an important step to ensure the security of your account. However, if you frequently forget to log out after using Gmail, you may be leaving your account vulnerable to potential security risks. One solution to this problem is to set up your account to automatically log out when you close your browser. 

Here's how to log out of your Gmail account on the browser automatically :

  1. Open your Gmail account and click on the "Settings" gear icon in the top right corner of the screen.
  2. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Click on the "Security" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Session length" section and select the option for "Sign out of all web sessions when you close your browser."
  5. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.

That's it! When you close your browser, you will be automatically logged out of your Gmail account. This is a great way to ensure the security of your account, especially if you're using a public computer or sharing your computer with others.

It's important to note that if you have multiple Google accounts signed in to your browser, this setting will log you out of all of them when you close your browser. If you don't want to log out of all of your accounts, you'll need to manually sign out of each one before closing your browser.

In conclusion, setting your Gmail account to automatically log out when you close your browser is an easy and effective way to keep your account secure. By taking this simple step, you can have peace of mind knowing that your personal information is protected.
