Recovery
Revoking app access
In Turkish: Uygulama erişimini kaldırma
Removing the permission that an app or website was given to use your account, for example after "Sign in with Google".
When you sign in to a site with another account, or allow an app to read your mail, contacts or posts, that permission stays until you remove it. A malicious app that you once allowed can keep working even after you change your password.
Most big accounts have a security page listing connected apps. Reviewing it a few times a year, and removing what you no longer use, shrinks the number of doors into your account.
What to do
- Open the security settings of your email and social accounts and find the list of connected apps.
- Remove anything you do not use or do not recognise.
- Do this after any suspected takeover, along with the password change.
