Many users today manage more than one Google account at the same time—one for personal use, another for work, and sometimes even more for specific projects. While Google makes it easy to sign in to multiple accounts on the same device or browser, this convenience can sometimes create confusion, reduce productivity, and raise security concerns.

Earlier, Google offered a more straightforward option to sign out of individual accounts directly. However, recent changes mean users often see a general “Sign out of all accounts” option, which is not always ideal. Logging out of every account can be inconvenient, especially if you want to remove access to just one Google or Gmail account from a specific device.

The good news is that Google still allows you to sign out of a single account remotely using its account security settings. This method is particularly useful if you want to protect your data, manage account access, or remove an account from a shared or old device. In this article, we explain how to sign out of just one Google account, step by step.

Why You Might Want to Sign Out of One Google Account

There are several practical reasons for signing out of a specific Google account:

• To protect your account if you logged in on a shared or public device

• To prevent unauthorized access after using someone else’s laptop or tablet

• To reduce confusion between work and personal accounts

• To improve focus and productivity by staying logged in to only one account

Instead of signing out everywhere, this method gives you better control.

Pre-Requisites Before You Start

Before following the steps, make sure:

• More than one Google account is signed in on your device

• You are logged into the Google account you want to manage

• You have access to another device, such as a laptop or tablet, to manage account settings easily

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Sign Out of Just One Google Account

Step 1: Choose the Google Account
Open the Google homepage and click or tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner. From the list of accounts, identify the account you want to sign out from.

Step 2: Go to Manage Google Account
Click on the profile avatar again and select “Manage your Google Account.” This will take you to the main dashboard of your Google account.

Step 3: Open the Security Section
On the account dashboard, find and click on the Security tab. This section contains all login, device, and access-related settings.

Step 4: View All Connected Devices
Scroll down to find the “Your devices” section. Here, click on “Manage all devices” to see a list of devices where your account is currently signed in.

Step 5: Select the Device to Sign Out From
Click on the device from which you want to remove the account. You will see a Sign out option. Click it to log out of that Google account from the selected device.

Step 6: Repeat if Needed
If your account is signed in on multiple devices and you want to remove access from more than one, repeat the same steps for each device.

Important Things to Keep in Mind

• Signing out remotely does not delete your Google account

• You can sign back in anytime using your credentials

• This method improves security without disrupting other accounts

• Changes may take a few minutes to reflect on some devices

Conclusion

Managing multiple Google accounts can be convenient, but it also requires careful control. If you no longer need access on a particular device or want to secure your account, signing out of just one Google account is a smart solution. With Google’s device management tools, users can remotely log out of specific devices without affecting other accounts. This not only improves security but also keeps your digital life organized and clutter-free.
