Check Gmail for connections to "Less Secure" apps

Keep Your Gmail Secure: Identify and Remove “Less Secure” Apps


What are “Less Secure” Apps?

These are apps or services that rely on your full Gmail password to connect. This method is considered outdated and less secure compared to modern authentication systems like OAuth 2.0.


Why Should You Care?

Using OAuth 2.0 protects your password by creating unique tokens for each app, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.


How to Check for “Less Secure” Apps:

  1. Sign in to your Google Account: Link to Google Account settings

  2. Google’s Security Checkup can also identify these apps: Link to Google Security Checkup
