Once you purchase a new phone or computer, chances are high that you will most likely add a Google account to take advantage of the variety of services that the platform offers. Google allows any user to connect up to 10 devices to his or her Google account. The devices can be sought as trusted devices. However, in situations where you do not trust the device anymore, you can choose to remove the device from your Google Account as a measure to ensure your account is safe and secure.
On the devices activity page, the Google Account owner will be able to view all the recent devices used to access their account within the last 28 days since its last sync date and if they do not trust the device anymore, they can choose to remove it. Here is how you can remove a device from your Google account.
How to Remove a Device From Your Google Account on your Computer
Step 1: Launch your browser on your computer and navigate to your Google Account dashboard (account.google.com)
Step 2: Select Security from the left panel.
Step 3: Under the Your devices section, you will see devices that you are currently signed to with your Google account. To remove a device from your Google Account, tap the Manage devices option.
Step 4: You will see the list of devices connected to your Google Account on the next page. Tap on the More menu button (three dots) against the device you want to remove.
Step 5: From the displayed pop-up menu, select Signout. In a new popup, you will be warned that signout will remove access to that particular device. Go ahead and tap Signout to confirm. Hereafter, the signout process will commence and when your Google Account is successfully signed out, you will receive a confirmation notification, and also the device will disappear from the list of connected devices.
