taking my own thread off topic here.....

if I have no choice but to use a hotel lobby PC to log into something
like Gmail, is there anything I can do to protect myself?

What I've done in the past is to wipe the browser cache first, the
open up a new incognito Chrome window, log int and log off, then
clear the browser cache again. when I had a chance to use my
phone, I immediately changed the Gmail password. Wass that
secure enough or was there anything else I could have done?

Tahnks!
