Control which devices can access your account and detect unauthorized access instantly
Review active devices in Settings → Security → Devices. Terminate any you don't recognize. Use 'Trust This Device' only on personal computers and phones.
Every device logged into your account is a potential entry point for attackers. This guide shows you how to manage devices, detect hijacked sessions, and secure your access points.
What each device type means
Chrome, Firefox, Safari on Windows/Mac/Linux
Recommendation: Trust only on personal computers. Never on public/work PCs.
Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android
Recommendation: Safe to trust on your personal phone.
Gamwiz iOS/Android app (if available)
Recommendation: Most secure option. Always trust.
iPad, Android tablets
Recommendation: Trust only if you're the sole user.
Library, internet cafe, friend's device
Recommendation: NEVER trust. Always log out manually.

Warning signs someone else is using your account
Additional protection for phones/tablets
No limit, but each device is a security risk. Regularly review and remove devices you no longer use.
Yes. Terminating just logs out that session. You can log in again anytime (will need password + 2FA if enabled).
'Log Out' is done from the current device. 'Terminate Session' is done remotely from another device to force-logout a different device.
Generally no. Work computers may have monitoring software, and IT can access your data. Use personal device for sensitive accounts.
