We all have a variety of apps and services that we sign in using Google. These Google-connected apps range from email to maps and even Alexa. But what if you no longer want these apps to access your Google Account? This tutorial will help you know which apps are accessing your account so that you can turn them off.

There are many ways to access your Google account. This includes both software and hardware. This tutorial deals with software or apps. I did a separate tutorial on how to see which hardware or devices access your Google account. Ideally, you should check both.

You’ve probably noticed that you can log in with your Google account when you sign up for some online services. This often makes it easier, so you don’t have to remember another password. It could also be the service needs to access some Google service or components like your contacts, Google Analytics, Google Calendar, etc. It’s become so familiar that we seldom pause when granting access.

Apart from approved applications, some “bad actors” like to devise ways to gain access. These attempts can come in many forms, so it’s a good practice to check which apps have access. A recent phishing attack made me review who I granted access to, including third-party apps. It was enlightening as there were online services that I’d stopped using. And some that I couldn’t remember. It allowed me to do a security checkup.
