Almost everyone’s Gmail account has some sensitive information be it pictures that you’d like to keep private, emails from family members and friends or even account information of the numerous services that you use.

But what if someone has been looking around? Can you find out who it is?

Yes, Google has provided its users with tools just to do this.

For starters, go to the bottom of our screen after opening your Gmail account, to the link that says ‘Details’. It is located at the lower-right corner of your screen, to be exact.

When you click this link, you’ll find out the last 10 times someone logged into your account, how they accessed it (browser, email app etc.), when they did as well as the IP address.

So, once you review this list, and find something suspicious, you can change your email password immediately.

Another method that has become popular is the two-factor authentication method. Activate this for your Google account, and enjoy another layer of protection as a result.

As for knowing your IP address, there’s no need to feel bad if you do not know what your IP address is. All you have to do is visit the website WhatismyIP.com at locations where you use your computer the most.

This could be at home, work or even that coffee shop that you visit regularly. Another thing to do is to check for your IP address when you are connecting to a new network. Storing all these IP addresses in a text document will come in handy later.
