Hi,
the official Gmail’s blog announced a new feature in gmail account. They’re adding a new layer of information and control which provides the possibility of tracking your recent sessions and also sign yourself out remotely.
Who never forget a gmail session opened in somewhere?? It’s commun to leave gmail logged in with your most important emails and stuff, and this feature will prevent you from that unpredicted jokes, emails and gtalk conversations that was not made for you.
At the bottom of your inbox, you’ll see information about whether your account is open in another location:
Next, after clicking on Details link, you will be able to see informations about where your account is still open, by viewing the source ip addres, and its recent activity time:
With this information, you may decide between maintain the session opened or sign out from it. For that, just click on “Sign out all other sessions”. It’s done.
I’m sure will you need to use this feature someday, just like me

Most of people thinks passwords are annoying. Because of that, people are using the same (and weak) password for various emails and accounts, forgetting its importance: passwords are often the first, and possibly only, defense against intrusion. So, I will give some advices in choosing a security or strong password.
- No Dictionary Words, Proper Nouns, or Foreign Word: password cracking tools are very effective at processing large quantities of letter and number combinations until a match for the password is found, as such users should avoid using conventional words as passwords
- No Personal Information: One of the frustrating things about passwords is that they need to be easy for users to remember. Naturally, this leads many users to incorporate personal information into their passwords. However, it is alarmingly easy for hackers to obtain personal information about prospective targets.
- Length, Width and Dept: as a general rule the following character sets should all be included in every password:
- uppercase letters such as A, B, C;
- lowercase letters such as a, b,c;
- numerals such as 1, 2, 3;
- special characters such as $, ?, &; and
- alt characters such as µ, £, Æ.
- Changing & Storing Passwords and PINs: n order to ensure their ongoing effectiveness, passwords should be changed on a regular basis. Changing passwords securely is fairly simple
