Account Security Review

If you ever notice anything suspicious with your online accounts, it can be helpful to check the sign-in logs (in addition to resetting your password, of course). Here’s how to do that with some popular services. Note that when presented with a sign-in location, it may not reflect the correct city due to limitations in IP geolocation accuracy. In my opinion, as long as the sign-ins are within Texas and correlate to an action you were doing at the time then they are likely legitimate.

Microsoft: Visit https://account.live.com/Activity to see sign-ins within the last 30 days.

Google: Visit https://myaccount.google.com/security to review the last 28 days of activity and what devices you are currently signed in to.

Apple: Visit https://account.apple.com/account/manage then click “Account Security” to view your trusted phone number(s) and device(s).

Facebook: Visit https://www.facebook.com and click your profile picture in the upper right corner, then “Settings & Privacy”, then “Activity Log”. On the left side select “Security and login information”. The three subsections will let you view recent activity and devices.

Yahoo: Visit https://login.yahoo.com/myaccount/security/ to see where you are signed in and recent account activity.
