View and end login sessions in your GMX account

If you forget to log out of your GMX account on another device, you can view and end any active sessions.

In addition to your current login session, there may be unauthorized logins in your GMX account. You can terminate any active sessions on the Manage Sessions page. When you end a session, you will be logged out and can log back in as usual.

After some time, each login session is automatically terminated for security reasons.
