Why do I need to search for accounts linked to my Gmail?

Not all registered accounts are subsequently used by their owners. As a result, your Gmail inbox is potentially at risk of exposing your personal information to outsiders if the app includes appropriate permissions for your friends' list, phone number, and other sensitive information.

Identifying profiles linked to your Gmail account may also be necessary to update personal information or deactivate access.

How can I search for accounts that have Gmail linked to them?

If the user logs in to applications and sites using the quick login option, which saves the email address - one can quickly see the last profiles created.

Access can be controlled through your Google Account settings or third-party apps. In addition, you can find the emails that came in for account verification in the linked mailbox.

How do I sign in to my Gmail account?

Login to your Gmail account

To sign in to your Gmail account from your smartphone, follow these steps:

  • Launch the application with the same name and click on the profile icon.
  • This will open a list of authorized email addresses.

Important: If your mobile device does not have an authorized Google account, you will need to create a new one or sign in to an existing one.

  • Scroll down and click on "Add account".
  • In the e-mail settings that appear, select the "Google" option.
  • Next, in the input field, you will need to enter your phone number or email address and a password to log in.

If authorization is done on a computer, you must go to the official site gmail.com and enter your email address and password. If the user forgets their credentials, access to the Gmail account can be restored.

How do I get to the right section of my Gmail account settings?

To get a list of accounts registered with the Google Account tool, follow these steps:

  1. Open "Manage Google Account" in the application and click the "Security" tab.
  2. Scroll down the menu and find the "Third-party apps with account access" subsection.
  3. View a list of the profiles associated with your Gmail account.

Important: In this section, you can set up notifications to allow you to receive alerts when you log in to third-party sites using your Google account.

You can set up a tethering override in the third-party apps section, which has access to your Google account.

Please note! Before deactivating a third-party service's access to your Gmail account, you can review the privacy policy to understand what data a particular app sends to Google.

To do this, just select the desired profile in the list and click the "Close Access" button. There you can also see a list of permissions granted for a particular third-party service.

To configure the necessary permissions for online platforms and websites authorized through social networking profiles, you need to open the application settings and go to the section of related sites and services for which you can disable access if desired.

Conclusions and tips

Thus, you can see the list of accounts to which your Gmail account is linked in your Gmail app. To do this, you need to go to the account security settings. Then in the third-party apps section, disable access for third-party profiles. We recommend setting permissions for services associated with your Gmail account to ensure your data is protected as much as possible.
