In this tutorial we are going to look at how to remove and de-authorise Apps which have been previously authorised to access your Google Account. \u00a0If you are like me and you like trying out different Apps which automatically integrate with Google Apps, it is wise to increase the security of your account for Apps which the free trial period has expired or decide that you don’t want to use them anymore.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s never a good idea to let too many applications have access to your Google account. For one thing, this can lead to your account becoming cluttered and more difficult to use. Having too many applications tied to your account also poses a potential security threat. When you agree to let an app access your account you give it certain permissions that involve your sensitive data and personal information. If this app is compromised it could lead to your personal information getting compromised as well. You can increase security by removing certain apps from your Google account at any time using your main Google account settings page.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Sign in to your Google Account<\/h3>\n

Open your Web browser and navigate to any page on Google\u2019s domain. Click the button labeled \u201cSign In\u201d in the top corner. Enter your username and password to log into your Google account. The \u201cSign In\u201d button will be replaced with one labeled with your account username. Click this button to continue.<\/p>\n

Step 2. Browse to Security<\/h3>\n

Click \u201cAccount\u201d by first clicking on your picture at the top right hand side of the web browser and then selecting “Account” which should be underlined in blue. The page that loads features various options for configuring exactly how your Google account operates. Select the button labeled \u201cSecurity\u201d on the top menu bar.<\/p>\n

Step 3. Edit your Authorised Apps<\/h3>\n

Find the portion of the screen labeled \u201cAccount Permissions” and click on “View All” in this portion of the screen to continue.<\/p>\n

Step 4. Find the Application<\/h3>\n

Find the application you want to remove from your account in the right hand side section of the screen. Each application will have two key pieces of information. The first will be the name of the service in question and the second will be the type of access that particular service has. For example, if a particular service is using your account to access your Google Reader feed, the name of the service will be listed followed by the term \u201cGoogle Reader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Step 5. Revoke Access<\/h3>\n

Click once on the App you wish to revoke access to and then Click the grey \u201cRevoke Access\u201d button \u00a0on the top right hand side. This will automatically remove the selected application or service from your Google account. Repeat this process for any other service you want to remove at this time.<\/p>\n
