Google Account permissions review

Some of the applications that we install ask us about permissions to access our Google Account. We granted them as part of the installation process or in first use because we need this app. Isn't it good to check what part of our account they have access, to check the given permissions and change them or just to remember. So there is a way. If you would like to know how, please, keep reading.

Go to myaccount.google.com or simply type in Google Search - "my account settings" - pick the first result which is probably: Sign in - Google Accounts

If you are not logged in your account it will ask you to do it.
If you use more than one accounts - you need to choose which one you would like to check.

Scroll down to Connected apps and services section and click on Account Permissions.

You will see list of all Apps that you granted permissions. By clicking on every of them you will review the permissions in the left. If you would like you can revoke that access.
