Whenever you try to login to Google from a new device, and if you have 2-step verification enabled, you will receive a prompt on your trusted device or devices to make sure it is really you trying to login to your account. You will receive this request on not only the device that you are currently using but also on all the other devices that you have marked as trusted. This is not that big of a deal of all your trusted devices are near you. But for security reasons, it is recommended that you make only the device you are currently using or that is always with you as a trusted device. If you have multiple trusted devices, you do not need to worry, you can easily remove extra devices from the trusted devices list. Here’s how to remove a device from Trusted Device in Google.
Remove a device from Trusted Device from Google Account
The steps are easy and it’ll only take a couple of minutes to remove a device from trusted device. Removing a device will disable the 2 step verification from that particular device so that if it ever gets on a wrong hand, your Google account would not be compromised. Follow the steps below;
Step 1: Open up a web browser and follow the following link to access 2 step verification setting. https://myaccount.google.com/signinoptions/two-step-verification
Step 2: You might need to enter the password for your Google Account to get in.
Step 3: Once in, you will see a section called Google prompt. There will be a toggle next to it that says “Get Google prompt on all the phones you’re signed in to”. Turn it off. Step 4: Confirm the action by clicking on TURN OFF.
Step 5: Now you need to remove the devices that you don’t want as trusted devices. You will find all the devices you’ve ever connect your Google Account below Google prompt.
Step 6: Beside every entry is a trash can icon that gets revealed when you turn off the setting in Step 3. Click on it to remove that particular device from trusted devices.
Step 7: When prompted, select OK to confirm the deletion. Now the device is no longer recognized as a trusted device.
