01

Understand the idea

An old device may stay signed in long after you stop using it. Session lists can help identify unfamiliar access, though device names and locations are sometimes approximate.

Context
02

Practical step
03

Important limit

Make the reading useful.

Take a moment to check your understanding. This is a reflection aid, not a certification or account check.
