What happens after you change your Gmail password

When you change or reset your password, you should know that you'll be signed out of that account in most places.  You'll need to sign back in using your updated password.

There are a few exceptions to the sign-out policy, though. You won't be signed out in the following places:

  • Devices that you use to verify that it's you when you sign in.
  • Certain devices with third-party apps you've given account access.
  • Home devices that you've previously given account access.
