Google Lets You Monitor Access To Your Gmail Account

Gmail has introduced a new privacy feature that will let users see how many computers their account is open on, and also allows them to sign-out remotely. Basic information is displayed as part of the page’s standard footer, and users looking for more detailed information can view a log that displays the most recent IP addresses to access the account, along with the type of access (Mobile, POP, etc.)

The new feature will be especially useful for monitoring email accounts for privacy intrusions, as well as for users who like to use Gmail from public terminals and may forget to manually log-off. Google says that the feature is being rolled out as part of the latest version of Gmail, but it appears that not all accounts are active (I couldn’t access it from my account).

The new Gmail features are the latest in a string of privacy-related announcements to come from the search giant. On Thursday we reported on a judge’s mandate for Google to turn over all YouTube user records as part of the Viacom/YouTube lawsuit, which has been met with widespread outrage. Since then, Google seems intent on demonstrating its concern for privacy, having moved its privacy policy to its homepage (after months of opposing the change) and releasing the enhanced Gmail security.

4. Check the boxes next to Mark as read and Also apply filter to … conversations below.

Did you receive this email to your gmail account - Do not reply, it's SPAM!!! ?

Hi Friends,

Did you recevied below email to your gmail account with the subject "Google Verification" do not reply with the data they have asked, probably this email generated by someone trying to use your account inappropriately.

Just think if it's from google why they are asking for the password, because they can get our details whenever they want and they don't need to ask that from us.

Please beware from these emails. And also keep in mind do not use same password you are using to your email when you are registering with other sites. Because normally your username will be your email in those sites and password if you type same as of your email, the admins of that particular site can give a try to log in to your email.

Just think if your email having important details, they can change the password and they will ask for money or something to give your changed password back. (Even they can give a try to log in to your facebook account too)
