About This Feature

Overview

View Active Devices is an account security feature in WPS Office for Mac. It lets you check where your current WPS account is signed in and remotely sign out a selected device when needed.

Core capabilities include:

  • View active devices: Check the current sign-in status of your account across devices in Personal Center.
  • Remotely sign out a device: Remove access from a device you no longer use or do not recognize.
  • Review account activity: Use the device list and sign-in time as a quick account safety check.

This feature is useful after using a shared computer, when switching to a new device, or when you want to review account activity on your WPS account.

Capability SummaryWPS lets you open Personal Center, view current active devices, and sign out a selected device from the device list.Microsoft 365 lets users sign out in an app and also sign out of Office remotely from a browser on the Microsoft account installs page.Google Docs help mainly explains switching accounts or signing out of a Google account, rather than showing a dedicated active-device list for Docs.Notion supports active session management and lets users log out of all other devices or a specific session remotely.Adobe explains activation and deactivation across devices, with the focus on app licensing and device use limits.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: You can review active devices and take action from the WPS account area in one workflow. Distinct: The feature is centered on account sign-in review instead of only app sign-out or license activation.Compared with WPS: Microsoft supports remote sign-out, but the device action is tied to account install management and app sign-out guidance rather than a dedicated in-app active-device list.Compared with WPS: Google Docs documentation focuses on account switching and sign-out, and the official help content does not describe a dedicated active-device management list for Docs.Compared with WPS: Notion also supports remote session control, but it is presented as session security management in account settings.Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on activation limits and deactivation for licensed apps than on a document account center for reviewing active devices.

Overall Conclusion
