One of the services offered by the US-based technology giant Google to users was the ability to log in to third-party applications. Thanks to this service, users did not have to register for a website, they linked their account information on the website with their Google account information. However, as of now, this situation has changed. Google no longer allows signing in to third-party apps.
It’s not hard to guess why Google did such a thing. If the sites using this system were hacked, the information belonging to the Google account was captured. With the decision taken, such a risk was eliminated. However, those who wish will still be able to log in to their websites using their Google accounts. In this case, it will take some work.
You will not be able to use your Google password on websites
With the decision taken by Google, you will not be able to connect an account to any website using the password in your Google account. However, signing up for a platform using a Google account will be possible from now on, as it has been up to now. However, this time you will have to activate Google’s “Application Passwords” feature. It should be noted that App Passwords are used together with Google’s two-factor authentication feature. In summary, Google has made it difficult to access third-party sites.
So what is the two-factor authentication feature required to use the App Passwords feature on Google and how is it used? If you are wondering the answer to this question, we welcome you to our comprehensive guide here.
