Forgot chromecast in a hotel room - can other people see my personal info?

[luckygirl]

I forgot my chromecast while on vacation - left it plugged into the hotel room tv. Can someone else use it and see my personal info? I assume you can't do a remote factory reset... I don't have the physical chromecast anymore. Is there anything else I should do to remove personal google account info from the device? Thanks!

Hi @luckygirl 

Sorry about your Chromecast.  Anybody who now tries to use it will need to do a full factory reset it so your info is safe. You can also reset your Google and related passwords if you want to be extra careful.

Ok, great thank you @JillG - I will do that!
