Audit third-party app and OAuth permissions across your accounts

30-45 min Impact: medium Effort: low ✓ Manual completion

Auditing third-party app and OAuth permissions means reviewing every app you have ever granted access to your Google, Microsoft, or social accounts, since that access remains active indefinitely until you explicitly revoke it, even for apps you stopped using years ago.

Every connected app is a real, persistent access point to your accounts and data, an old app you forgot about is just as capable of misuse if it or its own security is ever compromised.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Check connected apps in your Google account settings
    Google shows every app with any level of access granted.
  2. 2
    Check the same for Microsoft and any social accounts
    Each platform has its own connected-apps or authorized-apps settings.
  3. 3
    Revoke access for anything you do not actively recognize or use
    When in doubt, revoke, re-authorizing a genuinely needed app later takes seconds.
  4. 4
    Repeat this periodically
    New connections accumulate over time, a recurring check keeps this genuinely clean.

Common mistakes

How you will know it is done

Connected app permissions are reviewed across your major accounts, with unused or unrecognized access revoked.
