Help Google account security measures

During a recent breakup, my newly purchased phone mysteriously disappeared. I need to log into a (joint) Google account my (ex)partner and I created last year. I'll be using my old phone and prefer he not know. What are all the ways I can cover my tracks?
i.e. Delete my activity on Google Dashboard's Web & App activity. Remove Access to/from the device I use. Turn off my Location and/or delete it in Timeline. Check Gmail for any "Suspicious Activity" email alert(s). What else??
Thanks everyone!
 
Well if you make a factory reset and setup your old phone from scratch using another Email account you should be OK.

Well to completely secure your google account , you must change your password asap (it will log off your account from every device ), Turn the second verification on and make up backup codes , these 3 steps will completely secure your account no matter where it was used .
