However, if you’ve accidentally checked “Don’t ask again on this computer” during the last login or want to revoke seamless access on an existing device, here’s a simple guide on how to remove trusted devices from Google account.

That’s it. Google will now remove all the trusted devices you saved in the past on your account. Note that you’ll be required to re-authorize all the computers again on which you don’t want to be prompted for two-step verification. That said, make sure that your phone number registered with the account is active and up to date for future logins.

Tips to keep your Google account secure

  • Lock your phone’s screen with a unique and strong PIN or password.
  • Keep your account recovery details including mobile number and email address up to date.
  • Perform regular security checks using Google’s Security Checkup to get personalized security recommendations for your Google Account.
  • Never share your phone with other people, even if it’s a matter of a few minutes. If you have to, make sure to pin the screen (using Screen Pinning feature) if the other person wants to use a particular app, or enable guest mode before handing over your phone.
  • Before selling your old phone, make sure to log out of all accounts and perform a factory data reset. This ensures the security of your account as well as your data.
