OAuth Security: Remove access to third-party applications

Τι είναι το OAuth; It is very likely that you have allowed some apps or websites to have στους λογαριασμούς σας στην , Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, ή την Microsoft. Σε κάθε εφαρμογή που είχατε επιτρέψει κάποτε την πρόσβαση, θα πρέπει να γνωρίζετε ότι θα συνεχίζει να την έχει μέχρι να την ανακαλέσετε.OAuth OAuth OAuth OAuth OAuth OAuth

In other words, there are probably several other online services that have access to your personal information . So you should regularly check the lists of services linked to the websites you use and remove the services you no longer use.

Why do these third-party services have access to your accounts?

Όταν χρησιμοποιείτε μια εφαρμογή ή web υπηρεσία που απαιτεί πρόσβαση σε έναν λογαριασμό - για παράδειγμα, στον λογαριασμό σας στο Google, η εφαρμογή γενικά δεν ζητάει να χρησιμοποιήσετε έναν κωδικό πρόσβασης για να έχετε πρόσβαση στην υπηρεσία. Αντί για αυτό, χρησιμοποιεί κάτι που ονομάζεται OAuth. Αν συμφωνήσετε με την προτροπή, η εφαρμογή αποκτά πρόσβαση στο λογαριασμό σας και με αυτό τον τρόπο, σας κάνει ένα είδους έλεγχο ταυτότητας. Έτσι η ιστοσελίδα που θέλετε να χρησιμοποιήσετε, χωρίς να πραγματοποιήσετε μια νέα εγγραφή, θα σας δώσει ένα token που θα μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε αντί για κωδικό πρόσβασης για να αποκτήσετε πρόσβαση στο λογαριασμό σας.

When you give access to an application, you will see a window asking for your permission to access your Google account, for example.

So far, everything is fine. The problem is that we can easily forget which apps and services have access to your account. You can try an application for once and never use it again, or you may have stopped using an app years ago. If you have not checked the list of approved apps and removed it from there, this app still has access. It is well known that we have mentioned in other publications that many applications can use their access to collect data without your permission.

Η of your password will not revoke access to these linked applications. Even if you change all your passwords. services that have access to your account will retain access.

So how can you un-access the applications you do not use?

Use the links below

To secure your bills, you should visit a special page on each web page you use to check the list of linked services. If you see a service or an application that you are not using, immediately recall access.

To make it easier, we've collected a list of the most popular websites that use OAuth. You just do it on the link you are interested in to check the list of connected services.

It should be noted that, it is not the best idea to click on links that ask to have access to your Google, Microsoft, Facebook or Twitter accounts to log in with your password. Phishers can mimic sites to steal your passwords.
