[Q] Remote Sign Out - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know any way to remote sign out your google account on
the computer through the phone ?
I'm pretty curious how no body thought on this simple app, that just shows
you all the places your logged into with your google account, and gives you
the option to log them off. Is it matter of security ?
Is there anyway to do it through your google account itself ?
Something like facebook's "Active Sessions": Here
Thanks in advanced.

Problem with Google Account Disabled

Hi everybody,
I have a little problem with my Google Account. About 1 year ago, my account (alessio.buccoliero) has been disabled. I've created a new one (alessio.buccoliero.new), and it has been disabled too. At that point, I've created a new one, changing the name, and it worked for a while, until yesterday (disabled). I need a Google Account because I have an Android Phone but I don't want to create one every 3 months. If I try to contact Google, they don't reply to me and don't explain why they disabled the account.
I don't use Google services in any wrong way, AFAIK, but I noticed that the ban occurs when I try to upload photos on Picasa or use Google Drive (recently) or Google+.
Does anybody know if Google uses a sort of "blacklist" of users that have been banned once or more time in order to disable their account recursively?
Does anybody experienced the same problem?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Alessio
Same thing happened to my friend today for no reason. Not sure how to fix it :-\
Mmmh, thank you. It's very strange...
Anyone else?

What is the message that tells you it is disabled? And when do you get that message?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
What is your banned Message ?
There is a high relevance to the actual email or notification or email address you set as your original email address when creating gmail account
now your secondary email should have a mail from google telling you why you were banned
When I try to login with my credentials I'm redirected to a page that contains this message.
Account has been disabled
If you've been redirected to this page from the sign-in page, it means that access to your Google Account has been disabled.
In most cases, accounts are disabled if we believe you have violated either the Google Terms of Service , product-specific Terms of Service (available on the product page), or product-specific policies. Your account has not been deleted, your data is still intact, and it might be possible to regain access to your account.
Why Google disables accounts
Google wants to ensure that everyone has a chance to safely and securely connect and communicate. To help preserve this environment, Google reserves the right to:
Suspend a Google Account from using a particular product or the entire Google Accounts system if there is a violation of the Google Terms of Service , product-specific Terms of Service (available on the product page), or product-specific policies.
Terminate your account at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.
Next steps for disabled accounts
Please start by reviewing the relevant Terms of Service. Then, if you think your account should not have been disabled, please contact us.

I tried to send them emails and messages but they don't reply to me and I have no messages from google in my secondary mailbox (the one I've provided when set up the account).
Really, don't know what is happening...

[Q] How to exclude device from Google account without having it?

Hello,
I recently borrowed tablet that I needed to create app for some company, that was the chief's son tablet. I did the job, gived it back and was sure that i logged out from my google account. But right now on my google account in "my apps" I see thousand of free apps and I am scared that this kid will start buying paid games on my credit card. I contacted chief via e-mail, but till now there is no answer. Cannot contact him personally because right now I am not in the city.
So is there any way to exclude one of devices from my google account via web browser on my computer?
Can't you just change your Google password instead?
Well, I didn't thought about this, actually I can do it if there is no other way. I do not know how complicated it will be, because I have this two-step verification login etc.
I don't believe there is any other way of simply deleting a device from your Google account.

N5/Lollipop account setup = Sorry google doesn't recognize that email

Hi,
today I installed the factory image of lollipop on my n5. When I try to set up my second google app account I got the error: "Sorry google doesn't recognize that email"
My main google app account works fine, but my second not. The bad thing is, that I use my second account for buying apps at the play store for years.
The account worked fine at 4.4.4 and is still running on my n10 with 4.4.4.
I can use it with play.google.com, g+ .... but not on the phone.
Does someone have an idea?
bye,
Clou

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't offer a solution, but when I try to add my secondary email to my N5 on lolliopop I get the message "email address and password do not match".
It's not a big deal for me at the moment as I can log in to gmail on the Chrome app (incognito saves signing out ) so not too fussed about adding it as a " user".
Just thought I'd share that I'm experiencing the same issue.

For the moment I solved my problem that way:
Install 4.4.4 Factory Image
Setup both Google Apps accounts
Install the Sideload Update (LRX21O-from-KTU84P)
Now I have both accounts working under 5.0
Maybe is not the same problem but I couldn't setup my email because was saying I can't access to Internet trough my email... LOL
No idea why.
I entered in Gmail allow devices and applications.
I desactivate my email app and device_ allow acces_, whatever and the entering again in my email in the nexus5, I could setup up my Google account and email.
Maybe you can play with those options Good luck.

Nexus 5 "hacked" for downloading apps without user permission HELP

Hello!
So today in classone of my classmates found out how to download and install any apps on my and my friends Nexus 5 without we knowing it or allowing it.
The only information I gatherd from interrogating him are listed here:
I did "95%" of the work myself by logging in with my google account on my phone
it is done via PC
it has something to do with google play account and connecting to google gmail
EDIT:
it can be done for every phone but he choose this one
it was all on one site, no download
if anyone know how to do it or how to stop someone from doing this please replay ASAP.
Thanks!
To put it simply,
Your classmate likely knows your google account (gmail) password.
By knowing this they can easily log into the play store using your account from a PC and push (install) any app to any device on your account.
Change your password ASAP !

That is no magic trick and certainly no hack or bug.
Your Phone is linked to your Google account, so when you are logged in with your Google account on a PC then you will be able to install Apps from the playstore to any phone that is linked to the same Google account.
Don't let other people play around with your Google account!!!!
And if you're not sure if your classmate saw your password then change it ASAP and to be sure enable 2 step authentication in your Google account.

Google authenticator app wont work to secure google account

I'm sorry if I should be posting this in a different place. But there isn't really other places that are providing help with this issue.
Here is the issue. When I go to my google account on my computer. I go to setup 2FA. Now for some reason, I'm already logged into my account on my computer. Now it's asking me to login onto my phone. I should be able to get a 2FA code from my computer to put into my google authenticator. I would have to log out of my computer account. What's the point of having to login into my google account from my computer. If it asks me to login into my phone. I'm confused.
When I researched the issue I found something about back up codes.
I get to this part
At the top, tap Security.
Under "Signing in to Google," tap 2-Step Verification. You may need to sign in.
Under "Backup codes," tap Continue .
There is no backup codes options. I even go to more option, and there is no back up codes option. I'm assuming I'm going to get a backup code on my desktop computer to enter into my google authenticator. But I'm not finding it? What is going on here? Is there a way to get that code?
I want to get my code to protect my google account. And then on my smart phone that I don't have it connected to the internet. I want to add that code to the authenticator so I can use 2FA to protect my account. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is google making this extra complicated? The google authenticator says to Scan a QR code or Enter a setup key. I know it seems I should be posting this issue some where else, but I'm not getting a support there. And I know you guys use phones a lot and have experience with phones. Do you have this issue with google authenticator? Because the google authenticator app itself doesn't say anything about signing in. In the first place. It just says Setup your first account. And if I'm logged into my computer on google. Why have that option if they don't want you to do it from there in the first place. And there google authenticator says nothing about logging in
Update:
Well, apparently you need to be logged in online on your mobile device. Otherwise when you go to your web browser and login there and then go to setup 2FA it wont see the device. And it won't give you a code. I'm not sure why they have it setup this way. But it can be any android mobile device I believe. Even if vmware if you so choose.
