Professional networking site LinkedIn is rolling out new features that allow users to easily manage authenticated sessions across multiple devices and better understand what caused security-related changes on their accounts.

The site has added a new page under account settings called “See where you are logged in” that lists the user’s active sessions, complete with the corresponding location, IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type and operating system.

Users often access their accounts from devices they don’t own, even though this is not a good security practice. Those devices can be a friend’s mobile phone or a public computer in a library. Unless they hit the sign out button when they’re done, an active session can remain open on that device allowing other users to later access their accounts.
