The unofficial Google Operating System site writes about a little gem found under the security section of everyone’s Google account settings page.
Head over to your account’s security section, and click the “Get started” button located under the “Secure your Account” heading.
It’ll step you through the various lock-downs available for your Google account, including setting a recovery phone number, a recovery email address and the ability to revoke access for apps, websites and gadgets you no longer use. You’ll also be able to check out your recent activity to make sure nobody’s been using your account without your knowledge.
It’s a good idea to run through a security audit such as this every once in a while, especially after a high-profile data breach.
