*Miss~Maia* asked:


My BF and I share passwords and I know lately he has been signing onto my gmail account more and more. Is there any way to track logins or when the last login was?

    No. If you don’t like it, change your password.

    The theory is that anyone who has your password is authorized at any time.

    First off you should not share passwords. It is so easy to get a gmail account they should really get there own.

    Gmail does not give you statistics on when you have signed in but if you go to:

    While you are logged in to gmail it will tell you all of the google searches that have been made wile logged into gmail. If the other person searches on google after they logged into gmail they will leave some evidence of it here. Of course if they sign out right away then there will be no history of there searches. It may be a long shot but you can give it a try!

    The best answer of all is to GET A SEPERATE PASSWORD. Never, Never give out your password to anyone, not even to a boyfriend. Passwords is for your protection and your privacy on line. You can go to search history to find out where anyone who has been on your computer been online, but why go through all of that when all you have to do is simply get yourself your very own password, and don’t give it out to him or no one else, let him get his own or keep the one that you all shared before.

    Word of thought:

    In the real world, its important to trust your love ones; but in this virtual world, trust yourself above all

    In the virtual world, anything can happen. I recalled someone shared her email account with her closest friend and it turns out that her friend was sending “love” mails under her name (not her friend’s name), which really jeopardized their friendship.

    I strongly recommend that you get a separate account because sharing an account can lead to many problems that may jeopardize you and your BF’s relationship (again: anything can happen).

    If you wish to continue sharing your gmail account, you can also figure out what emails your BF is sending out by clicking on “Sent mail” on the left (assuming he hasn’t deleted those).
