Forgot to log out? Now Close your active gmail sessions remotely

In my earlier post I have written about how Google has recently release some new security features in Gmail. Here is one of the advantage of such feature:

One of the greatest benefits of cloud based applications (like Google e-mail) is the advantage of being able to sign in from anywhere -- your PC at home, from laptop while traveling, PC at work, or a mobile device, and may be some times you even log in from a public area such as an internet kiosk or cybercafe.

But what if you forget to log off from the gmail? In such scenario someone may see your active session - can not only can read your email, but they also can use your account to retrieve your passwords of not only gmail but all other services signed up using this account.

Google's new feature release has addressed this by enabling you to know if you're still logged on elsewhere and also gives you a chance to disconnect remotely.

To access this at the bottom of your (Google Apps Mail) Gmail inbox is a small notifier of other active sessions. The new feature, being rolled out to users in phases (so some of you may see it now and some will see it after few days). The feature shows information on the time and location of your recent activities.

Enterprise customers - your one more objection to use Google Apps is resolved. Better start using it now and have early mover advantage.
