How to Manage Authorized Websites in Your Google Account

Managing Authorized Websites and Apps in Google
- Visit Google.
- Click on 'Sign in'. Enter your email ID and password to sign in.
- If you are already signed in, skip this step.
- Click on your Google avatar or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click on 'My account'.
- Click 'Connected apps and & sites'. This link is located inside the very first box, which is titled 'Sign-in & security'.
- Access the list of connected apps. Scroll down to the section labelled "Connected apps & sites". In the corresponding box titled, 'Apps connected to your account', click the 'Manage apps' tab. This will take you to your authorized apps page.
- If you have not authorized third-party Websites or apps to access your personal data, it will say, 'Currently there are no third party sites authorized to access your account.'
- Manage your authorized apps. Clicking on the app name will bring up details about the information, which the app has access to.
- Revoke access to an app. In case you wish to revoke access to a particular app, click on the 'Remove' tab.

Method 2 of 5:
Managing Passwords
- Visit the 'Saved passwords' page. Go to the next box on the 'Sign-in & Security' page, which is titled, 'Saved passwords'.
- Click on 'Manage passwords'. This will bring up a prompt, asking you to re-enter your Google account password.
- Each Website or app will have its password listed beside it.
- In case you wish to see the password, click the 'eye' icon.
- In case you do not want Google to remember the password, simply click on the 'X' sign.
- Click 'Undo' if you want to go back to how it originally was.
Method 3 of 5:
Using Application-Specific Passwords
- Sign-in to your Google Account Management page.
- Alternatively, you can go directly to the Authorized sites and apps page.
- Setup an App-Specific Password. You can do this to achieve further security, while allowing third-party applications to access your Google account.
- For this to work, you will first have to go through a 2-step verification process.
- From the Accounts Settings screen, under Personal Settings, click on 'Using 2-step verification'.
- Follow the prompts to complete setup.
- Go to the Accounts Settings screen.
- Authorize applications and Websites.
- Under 'Personal Settings', click on the link for 'Authorizing applications and sites'.
- Under 'Application-specific passwords', enter the application for which you want to use a password.
- Click on 'Generate password'. This will complete the process.
- You can type anything into the description box. But giving a description, which matches the application, will help you organize it better.
- Use the app-specific password. Go to your desktop or mobile app and use the password you generated.
Method 4 of 5:

- Go to 'Google Prompt' and click on 'Add Phone'.
- Click on 'Android' and select your device.

- Confirm password. Click 'Yes' on the prompt that says, 'Trying to sign-in?'. This will confirm your password and turn on Google Prompt.
- You will need to have a password or pin-enabled Android phone for Google Prompt to work.
- Once Google Prompt is enabled, it will become the default verification step. Even if you enabled verification via text or voice message, now verification will take place via Prompt.
