Third-Party Apps With Google Account Access: Review and Remove

If you went looking for the Google third party apps with account access screen and could not find anything by that name, your account is fine. Google’s current page for this is called Linked apps, at myaccount.google.com/linkedapps. This guide covers how to read it, how to tell a harmless sign-in link from an app that can open your mail, Drive or Calendar, and how to cut access without locking yourself out of something you still use.

Where to find Google third party apps with account access now

The page is called Linked apps

Google’s current article on the subject is Manage links between your Google Account and apps from other developers, and it sends you to the linked apps page at myaccount.google.com/linkedapps. That single page holds every connection between your account and software built by someone other than Google, from a note-taking app that only knows your email address to a backup tool that can read every file in Drive.

One reassurance worth having before you start: Google states that it does not set up links without your permission. Anything on that list was approved by someone holding the account. If you inherited the account, that someone may not have been you, which is exactly why the review is worth doing.

Old links and paths people still search for, and where they lead today

Two addresses keep turning up. The first is myaccount.google.com/permissions, the path most older guides and forum answers point at. The second is the route through the Security page: people open myaccount.google.com/security and look for the third-party apps with account access entry, then follow the connections link from there. Google’s current article names neither. The only address it gives is myaccount.google.com/linkedapps.

Signed out, myaccount.google.com/permissions and myaccount.google.com/linkedapps both land on the Google sign-in screen, while myaccount.google.com/security sends you to a public intro page rather than your own settings (checked 23 October 2026). A cold click tells you little either way. Sign in to the account you actually want to audit first, then open the linked apps page from Google’s own article rather than from a bookmark that may predate the current layout. If you keep a runbook for your team, change the link there once and stop guessing.

The kinds of linked apps and what each can reach

Google’s overview page, Learn about linked apps, describes several distinct kinds of link. They look similar in a list and are not remotely equivalent in risk.

Sign in with Google

This is the button you press instead of creating a password. The app learns who you are. On the linked apps page, the Sign in with Google filter gathers every app in this group in one place. Google is clear that it does not share your Google Account password with any linked app, so no app you signed in with ever held your password unless you typed it in somewhere you should not have.

Apps with access to your Google Account data

This is the category that matters most. Google’s page on sharing some access to your Google Account data says linked apps may request access to Google products including Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Photos and Contacts. An app in this group is not merely identifying you; it can reach content.

Linked account: Google’s access to your account elsewhere

The arrow points the other way here. You connected a third-party service so Google products or devices could use it. Before deleting one of these, read the developer’s privacy policy and expect to lose whatever feature depended on the link, on every device where you are signed in.

View and copy versus manage

Within data access, Google draws a line worth memorizing. View and copy lets an app read and copy data such as contacts, photos or playlists. Manage lets it edit, upload, create or delete, with Google’s own examples including uploading video and creating or deleting calendar events. A read-only analytics tool and a tool that can delete calendar entries deserve different levels of patience from you.

How to review your linked apps

Filter by link type

The linked apps page carries filters for the link types above, so you can look at one category at a time instead of scrolling a mixed list. Start with the apps that have access to your Google Account data. That is where a forgotten grant does real damage. Sign in with Google entries can wait for a second pass. Agent access is its own filter as well, and it is worth a look of its own: it lists the apps a Gemini or Google agent can act with on your behalf.

Read an app’s details before deciding

Select an app, then open its details. You get the specific access it holds rather than a category label. Ask three questions:

• Do I recognize this app, and did I or a colleague deliberately connect it?
• Does it still do a job for us, or did we stop using it last year?
• Is the access it holds the narrowest that job needs?

Anything that fails one of those is a candidate for removal. You can always reconnect.

Time-limited access and the notice before it ends

Not every share is permanent. Google describes sharing a one-time static copy of your data, and sharing access for a set period of 30 or 180 days. You are notified before a linked app’s access ends, and you can extend it from the linked apps page. If you are granting access to a contractor’s tool for a short project, the time-limited option does the revoking for you.

Remove app access to your Google Account

Each link type has its own removal path, and they are not interchangeable.

Remove what a linked app can access

On the linked apps page, filter to apps with access to your Google Account, select the app, open its details, review what it holds, then select Remove access and confirm. Google notes that the app can no longer reach your account and some of its features may stop working. That is the point, but it is worth knowing before you click.

Stop using Sign in with Google for one app

Filter to Sign in with Google, select the app, open its details, then select Stop using Sign in with Google and confirm. Google will stop signing you in automatically.

Delete a Google Account Linking connection

Filter to the linked account type, select the app, open the details under the heading showing Google’s access to that app, then delete the link and confirm. Google loses its access to your account on that service.

Stop an agent from using an app

Filter to Agent access, or search for the app by name, select it, then under the agents listed in its details choose the option to stop that agent using the app and confirm. Google is specific about the limit of this one: removing an agent’s access does not disconnect or delete the link between your Google Account and that app. The agent stops completing tasks through it; the link underneath is still there until you remove it separately with one of the steps above.

What removing access does and doesn’t do

Three things reliably surprise people.

The app may keep what it already copied

Google says plainly that revoking access does not remove data an app already has, and that you may need to contact the developer and request deletion. Send that request in writing if the data is sensitive.

Your account on the app still exists

Google treats your Google Account and your account on the app as distinct. Removing a Sign in with Google link does not delete your data on the app, so you can be left with an account you can no longer sign in to. Set a password or another sign-in method on the app first, test it, then remove the link.

Deleting your Google Account removes every link

Google states that deleting your Google Account also deletes all associated links to apps from other developers, including the Sign in with Google credentials. The reverse is not true: deleting your account on an app does not notify Google, so the app can keep showing as linked until you remove it yourself.

Google Security Checkup and a compromised-account review

Google’s Account Checklist runs two separate lessons that people often conflate: Take a Security Checkup, which sends you to myaccount.google.com/security-checkup, and Manage your linked apps. They are lessons 1 and 5 of that checklist’s six; the linked-apps lesson is not something the checkup contains. Google’s wider advice on making your account more secure tells you to review which apps can use your account info and remove the ones you do not need, and it explains the color coding on the Recommended actions icon: blue for security tips, yellow for important steps, red for urgent notifications, and a green shield with a check mark when your account is healthy and nothing needs doing.

What Security Checkup shows about third-party access varies by account and by what the checkup finds, so do not rely on it alone. Open the linked apps page yourself.

If you think an account was compromised, Google’s checklist for securing a hacked account lists reviewing apps with access among the unfamiliar changes to critical security settings worth checking, alongside your recovery phone number and recovery email. Do three more things in the same sitting:

• End every other session. Our guide to signing out of a Google account on all devices walks through the devices list and what a password change does and does not reach.
• Make sure you can still get in. Backup codes and passkeys give you a second way in that does not depend on one handset.
• If 2-Step Verification codes live in an authenticator app on a phone you are replacing, move them deliberately rather than hoping: transferring Google Authenticator to a new phone covers the steps and the usual failures.

A routine for handovers, departures and shared inboxes

Linked apps are the quiet part of an account handover. Passwords get rotated and sessions get ended; a backup tool with standing Drive access usually does not.

After a contractor or employee leaves. Open the linked apps page the same day you rotate the password. Remove anything you cannot account for, starting with apps that hold data access. Ask the departing person for a list of what they connected, and treat the list as a starting point rather than the whole truth.

Before and after delegate access. If a colleague needs to work an inbox, Gmail delegate access is usually a cleaner answer than sharing credentials, and it leaves a clearer trail than a third-party tool holding Gmail scope. Review linked apps before you set it up and again when you end it.

Never type your Google password into a third-party app. Google’s guidance is explicit that doing so gives the app full access to your Google Account. A genuine integration routes you through a Google consent screen that names what it wants. A form asking for your Google password inside the app is not that.

Anyone taking over a Gmail account should run this same review at first login, including an account ordered from PVAVRT’s Gmail accounts page: open the linked apps page, read every entry, and remove anything you did not add. Be clear-eyed about the risk while you do it. Most platforms forbid buying an account in their terms. Google’s own terms set out when it may cut off your access to the services, or delete the Google Account entirely, and a material or repeated breach of those terms is on that list. Build the review into your first hour rather than your first incident.

If you ordered Gmail accounts from PVAVRT

Run the linked-apps review at first login, before you connect anything of your own. What PVAVRT states about its stock is narrow: logins are tested before an order ships, and nothing beyond that. An account that will not sign in the first time you try it is replaced free within 7 days of the delivery date, so message Telegram @pvavrt inside that window with the account details if one fails. Orders are accepted only where the work is lawful marketing, automation, QA testing or account management, and turned away where the brief reads as fraud, impersonation, harassment or anything illegal. Where a sanctioned route exists, such as Google Workspace for team mailboxes, it is the better answer.
