They get ya when you’re in a rush

February 21, 2024

You don’t want to miss the last available spot for dinner tonight, so you let a reservation-booking app access your Google Calendar. Harmless, right? Wrong. 

The more apps you give access to your account, the more you’re exposed. And if an app suffers a data breach, that puts you at risk.

The good news is it’s easy to revoke third-party app permissions. Here’s how:

• Log in at myaccount.google.com and tap Security.
• Scroll to Your connections to third-party apps & services > See all connections.
• Select the app or service you want to review, then choose See details.
• Click Stop using Sign in with Google and confirm your selection.

NOTE: This does not delete your account with that app. It may request access to your Google account again the next time you open it, so be on the lookout.
