Prevent your Gmail from being Hack.

With this Gmail feature you can know if someone has hacked into your Gmail account.

Log into your Gmail account scroll all the way to the bottom, under the green line that states how much space you are using you'll see a line that says "Last Last account activity: "date" at this IP (xx.zzz.zzz.xx)."


See picture below marked with a red arrow.





If someone will login to your account while you are logged in the line will change and will tell you that "This account is open in 1 other Location…IP (Other computer IP address).

If your mail isn't open on any other computer you know that your account is compromised.


Click in on the details link and get more info about -

The access type (POP, Browseror SMTP).

IP address find out the location of other address that entered your account, this might give you a clue about who is logging into your account.

The time and date of login.

This tip won’t stop people hacking into your account (if they do so), but it will give you a clue about how safe you mail is.
