How to sign out of Gmail (if you really need to)

Can you remember the last time you signed out of your Gmail account? Google asks you to periodically confirm your password for security purposes, but the chances are you haven’t needed to actually sign out in quite a while.

QUICK ANSWER

To sign out of Gmail, find your Google profile photo in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Drop down the menu, and there will either be a Sign out button or a Manage accounts on this device link. From there, you can sign out or remove the account from your device.
