How to stay logged out of your Google account

If you want to make sure you stay logged out of your Google account, there are a few things you can do:

• Clear your browser's cache and cookies
• Use a private browsing mode
• Log out of all devices associated with your account

Clearing your browser's cache and cookies will remove any saved login information and ensure that you are not automatically signed in when you return to the Google homepage. Using a private browsing mode, such as "Incognito" on Google Chrome, will prevent your browsing history and login information from being saved.

If you are concerned that your account may be compromised, it is also a good idea to log out of all devices associated with your account. This can be done by going to your Google account settings and selecting "Security," then "Your devices."

Logging out of your Google account is an important step in protecting your privacy and personal information. Whether you are using a shared computer or just want to make sure your account is secure, following the steps outlined in this article will ensure that you are signed out of your account and your information is kept safe.
