How to Remove or Lock a Google Account from Another Device

When you log into Google, you're connecting to the Google server. If you've used a Google account on a different phone or shared your password, you can change the password to prevent access to that account. This guide will help you if you need to remove or lock a Google account from another phone.

Methods to Remove or Lock a Google Account

Here are two effective methods to remove or lock a Google account from another device:

Method 1: Using Google's Find My Phone Service

This method is useful when the device is lost or misplaced but is still logged into your Google account and connected to the internet. When a device is remotely wiped, it deletes all its data, including photos, contacts, files, and other data. Follow these steps:

Open a browser and visit Sign in - Google Accounts. Sign in with your Google Account if you are not already signed in. Select the old phone whose account you want to disconnect. Click 'Remove Device' and confirm the follow-up prompts.

Method 2: Using PassFab Android Unlocker

This is a third-party software that can bypass PINs, patterns, fingerprints, and other security features. It can also bypass Google accounts without a password. Here's how to use it:

Download and install PassFab Android Unlocker on your computer. Connect the phone to your computer and unlock it without entering the password. Follow the prompts in the software to bypass the Google account and reset the phone. Set a new Google account on the phone.

Hints and Additional Information

If you need to remove a Google account from an Android or iOS device, keep in mind that you can't do this without access to the device. However, you can change the password to prevent access. Here's how:

Open your phone settings. Tap on 'Accounts sync' or 'Google'. Select the account you want to remove. Follow the prompts to remove the account from your device.

Google also allows you to notify them if a device is not yours during their security check. However, the easiest method is to simply change the password and log in to all the devices you want to be connected to your account.

Remember, if someone else has your phone number, it's possible they got it on a random number or changed carriers without knowing that the phone number is portable. If the Gmail account holder can't access their account, you can provide them with a temporary code and let them log in to delete their number and regain control of their account.

If you're a kind person, you can help the owner by deleting their number and getting in touch with them in some way. If you can't do this, let the owner deal with it as they have the official means to regain access to their account.
