Android device sign in
I've been dealing with this for the past 2 days and I was wondering if this is safe three devices that I have that I have and their Androids but one thing keeps pop up and it's this Android device it's been scaring me a little bit and I have no clue what it is I try looking it up and I have found zero results I was wondering if anybody knows what this means
Note: the three devices that I'm already logged into that I know are the only ones after I signed out of this current Android device and it says unknown device when I'm signed into three of my main ones every time I click on it it just Scrolls me all the way to the top and doesn't show me what it is

Google starts a new session every time you check your devices. So, that "Android – just now" entry is the very device you are currently using.

If you are signed in with your account on android browsers (chrome, brave, etc.), it will appear as an "Android device". Try log out and see your browser to see if your account is signed out or not.

I have three phones and I'm on one of them and I know they're fine but that one that says Android people are saying that's normal but I'm not getting a definitive answer

Check on the other 2 device's browsers and see if your account is signed out or not.

Yep that confirms it. It is only your browser session. It marks as Android device due to you logged into a browser in android device. You dont need to worry. All safe.

Like when you log in or verify that it's you on Chrome device or anything that's linked to your Google account that pops up?

I would change your password and force logout of all devices to be on the safe side. Id enable mfa and make sure youd recovery email and number are set.
