Facebook is rolling out a new security feature that lets users log out of their accounts remotely from another computer.

Facebook said it was making the service available over the next couple of weeks, accessible on computers, but not mobile devices.

To access the feature, users should go to "account settings" on their Facebook page and click on "change" next to "account security".

There, it will show where else the Facebook account is logged in, including the type of device and the city it's in or near.

To log out of any of them, click "end activity".

The feature is similar to the feature Google Inc.'s Gmail offers its users, and Facebook said it would help users keep their logins secure.
