- Cost: No cost at all. It only takes a few minutes each time. The hard part is that there’s no reminder — you have to remember to do it yourself.
- In plain terms: “Logged-in devices” refer to the phones and computers that can still access your account right now. Account thieves often lie low for a while before making their move. If you see any unfamiliar devices on the list, or third-party apps you no longer use still linked to your account, log out from all devices and change your password right away.
- Benefit: Account theft rarely happens instantly — attackers usually spend some time lurking first. The list of logged-in devices shows all phones and computers currently able to access your account, while the list of authorized apps shows all third-party services you’ve given permission to log in using your account. Any unknown devices or unused third-party apps on these lists are the easiest clues to spot.

- Notes: This feature is available in WeChat, Alipay, email accounts, Apple ID, and Android accounts. If you spot any unfamiliar devices, simply log out from all devices and change your password.
Periodically check the devices logged into your account and any authorized apps, then remove the ones you no longer use
