A relative used my laptop and I realized several accounts stayed signed in. No known misuse yet. Sensible hardening steps that are not overkill?

Sign out everywhere where available, change passwords for high-value accounts, and use separate browser profiles for shared machines.

Review active sessions in each major account. It is tedious and worth it.

I moved to a password manager so I stop reusing anything on shared devices.
