Currently, if I click on the link "sign out" on any Google service, I won't be signed out. "Google Accounts
Sorry, there seems to be a problem. The service you're looking for is temporarily unavailable. We're working hard to restore your access as soon as possible. Please try again in a few hours. Thanks for your patience." https://www.google.com/accounts/Logout2?continue=... |
Gmail seems to be down for me.
I believe PicasaWeb was down earlier too. |
In an emergency on a public computer, you can always clear your cookies to sign out. |
What's the status now Tom? Can you sign out? |
Roger: some computers with public access don't allow users to access to the preferences menu....
Hello, The problem is still there, I don't know if I'm the only user having this problem. You should try it. On google.com/ig, I click on the link "sign out", and I get that: http://i30.tinypic.com/29fxk0j.png the link is https://www.google.com/accounts/Logout?service=ig&continue=http://www.google.com/ig&cd=US (now "Logout", in the first post on this thread it was "Logout2"). Then I can go on google.com/ig, I'm still connected to my Google account...
Can you test it please? http://www.google.com/ig/logout?continue=http://www.google.com/ig |
I've tested it, and it works fine. Try adding or removing a gadget.. see if that works. |
This reminds me, I've always wished they'd add a "Universal Nuke Cookies" feature to invalidate your cookies on all machines where you've signed in from. That would be a great way to protect yourself if you lost a laptop, mobile device, etc. or forgot to logout on a public machine (it's very easy to accidentally sign in with the "remember me" option on a public machine).
The way it stands now, anyone with access to a browser with you cookied has free access to everything in all your accounts and I don't think changing your password would help. |
I completely agree with you, Niraj. This would be great. Even if you have cookies, when you connect, the first action of the authentification service should be checking if a flag "has signed out in the meanwhile" is set. Then you would be unable to connect the Google Account, except entring your login & password. THAT would be a great idea, useful for EVERY GOOGLE USER, not like the new release of Foo API which nobody cares...
David : I've tried it. It works, unfortunately. |
