If an attacker is going to attack your gmail, they already know that their IP is logged on the "Last account activity". If they are really going in, they'll be behind at least 7 proxies. Then again, there is next to nothing you can do with an IP address, if this make you feel safer then w/e.
- rytis 15y agoit still gives you time to "sign out all other sessions" in your browser and change password immediately. granted, you may be afk etc but still better than nothing at all...
- wladimir 15y agoYou should really automate that... at least then you'll be faster than the intruder (at least if he/she hasn't already changed the password :p)
- acron0 15y agoIs it possible to automate sign out and password change?
- wladimir 15y agoYes. Easiest way would be to just have a script (for example, Firefox addon or greasemonkey script) that drives a browser. Or if you don't want the overhead of a browser, a somewhat more tricky way is to do it once yourself and record the traffic using a plugin, and repeat that in a script... (but this might require some reverse engineering work on the clientside JS if there are fields like one-time tokens)
- billybob 15y agoSince Gmail records the IP of anyone accessing, if you're really paranoid, there could be a setting that lets you specify what IPs you will access it from. That would be really inconvenient if you wanted to check it from elsewhere...
