With Google Device Dashboard it becomes easy to track devices accessing your account

A Google account can be accessed from as many devices at the same time.

With Google accounts becoming vulnerable to hacking Google wanted to provide a steep security guard for its users accounts and so it has launched a new security device dashboard termed “Devices and Activity dashboard“. This new Devices and Activity dashboard lies within your Google account’s security settings listing out every device that is accessing your account for the past 28 days. It also lets you know when and where your account was last accessed.  It also becomes easy for you to just log off your account in any listed device from the dashboard that you no longer want to use it.
A Google account is that easy where users can access their accounts from as many devices as they want simultaneously. But this indeed also lets the users forget to log off their account from any such device that is no more used by them, thus creating room for mischief causers. So Google to help out with this has introduced the Devices and Activity dashboard that in every way helps keep things secure and organized. This new tool from Google is designed simple and unified to help its users easily check out the devices that are accessing their accounts.

This Google’s Devices and Activity dashboard is added to every user accounts with the option to remove account access from any device that is not currently used by the user.
If anyone find their account being used by an unknown device (a suspicious activity) then with the help of dashboard they can easily secure their account. The “Secure your account” link found at the top of everyone’s dashboard allows users to change their password, their recovery information can be updated, app passwords and account permissions can be checked and also their two-step verification settings can be checked.
 For example if you find your account still being accessed via your lost Smartphone then “Secure your account” link helps you to immediately react.
 Also “New” is marked all in caps next to the device listing, if there is a new device that is accessing your account recently. The device that is currently used by you to access your Google account is shown first in the list.
Though this Google Device Dashboard might look like a tool designed mainly for IT administrators or someone equal, basic users still find it to be a handy tool. This tool offers its users with every detail pertaining to the devices that are accessing their account currently as well as for the past 28 days.  Even keen details about when and where the users’ accounts were last used can be got with this new dashboard that wind-up suspicious activities.
It becomes a shared responsibility to have security in the cloud and so by making users more conscious of their devices security settings, things can be worked up together against bad guys.
According to Google, changing passwords becomes possible for users while they can still take up with other steps to ensure security like including links from within the Devices and Activity dashboard directly to Android Device Manager.
So with all this Google is trying to have its users accounts safe from hacking thereby giving its users seamless account access.
