Twitter is becoming a very important asset for many people. While it a marketing tool for some, it is a way to publish personal opinions for others.

So, what if I say someone hacked your Twitter account and using it behind your back without your knowledge.

Scary! right?

Well, in order to prevent this, Twitter has a useful option which lets you see all the devices your Twitter account was used or being used along with the Date & Time of login and Location.

Also, if you notice that your account is being used on some unknown device, you have an option to log out from it.

So, let us see how we can check  When and where your Twitter account was/is being used so you can confirm whether your account is hacked or not and take suitable security steps according to it.

Check Recent logins on Twitter Website

You can check your recent login activity by logging in to the Twitter website by following these steps:

1. Log in to Twitter & click on your profile picture in the top-right corner and then click on Settings and Privacy.
2. Now in the left side click on Apps and Devices.
3. Here you can see all the apps which have access to your Twitter account. Now if you scroll down, you can see all your recent logins from different devices under Recently used devices to access Twitter.

Now here in the list, for each login, you can see the Device type (Android, iOS..), Location, Date & Time of login and a Logout option.

Also, on the top of the list, there is also an option called Logout all, which will log out of your account all the devices except the device you are currently using.
