That makes total sense, but I really need to ask a harder question. Now, clearly, you don’t want this person to have access to your email. It will show you how many other places the account is currently open and even have a “close other sessions” button, but I’m not aware of such a feature for Microsoft accounts such as Hotmail.
There’s typically a timeout, but it will vary from service to service and I’m actually not sure what it is for Hotmail.Īlso, as long as you did not check “Remember Me”, your account credentials will be forgotten as soon as this other person closes the browser.īy the way, Gmail actually has a feature you probably want. If it does not then no, I’m not aware of any way to force the other sessions to close. On most email systems that should invalidate any other open sessions, if not instantly, then after the open session times out. Change your passwordįirst things first: yes, change your password. The possibility of walking away while it’s still logged in is really only just one. Unfortunately, there are several reasons that you don’t want to log in to your email account on the computer of someone that you don’t actually trust.
