A couple of years ago I wrote an article about an interesting feature which lets you know if your Gmail account is hacked. Such a feature lets you see any suspicious activity on your Gmail by showing you interesting facts about it such as: last account activity, access type, IP address, etc.  Google has recently added a new feature to further increase the security of your Gmail account. Let’s what I am talking about.

This new feature is located at the end of  the Gmail page. Once you login your Gmail, go to the end of the page and:

1. Under the space available on your Gmail, click the Details link.
2. Once you click the link a new small window will appear on your screen. Such a window will shows you the details about all the  accesses to your account.
3. At the end of the list, next to Alert preference, click the Change link.
4. Now select the radio button labeled Show an alert for unusual activity.
5. Next time somebody will gain access to your email you will get a warning at the beginning of your account showing you interesting details.
