On Monday Google made it a bit easier for people who crave more security over their Google accounts to achieve that goal.
Google launched a tool called My Account that allows users a single location for things like privacy and security settings across all Google products. The tool allows users to see if Google can collect information on devices used to log into users accounts, track a user's location, or search and browsing activity.
For a more secure login a user can turn on two-step verification. Also on the Sign-and-Security page you can see which apps are connected to your Google account. A user can also have an analysis on their current security settings and there is an FAQ page that answers questions like what is done with the information that is collected.
These new settings feature were always available, but not in a one-stop-shop type of situation. This will allow the user an easier birds eye view of their security settings across all types of Google accounts to make sure they are achieving the security they seek.
