About This Feature

Overview

View Active Devices is an account security feature in WPS Office for Windows. It lets you check where your WPS account is currently signed in and remotely sign out devices that are no longer in use or look unfamiliar.

Core tasks include:

  • View active devices: Open the device list in Personal Center and review the current sign-in status.
  • Remotely sign out a device: Sign out a selected device and clear the account cache on that device.

This feature is useful for account security checks, clearing sign-in status after using a shared computer, and managing account access after switching to a new PC.

Capability SummaryLets you view active devices in Personal Center and sign out a selected device directly in the WPS client.Microsoft supports signing out of Office remotely from a browser and also provides account-wide sign-out options and device management pages.Google Account lets users review devices or sessions that recently accessed the account and sign out specific devices or sessions.Notion supports remote logout for active sessions and can log out all other devices from account settings.Adobe supports using apps on more than one device and provides activation and deactivation management when switching devices.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: The entry point is inside the WPS client profile area and Personal Center, so checking devices and signing them out follows one account-management path.Compared with WPS: Microsoft often relies on browser-based account or security pages for remote sign-out and broader device actions.Compared with WPS: Google focuses on account sessions in the Google Account security area rather than a desktop office client device list.Compared with WPS: Notion centers on account sessions and remote logout, rather than a device list inside a desktop office suite account center.Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on activation limits and license use across computers than on an in-app office account device list.
