As hesitant as I am with all the crypto and block chain out there considering all the scams and such, at least this one has a big company behind it. Nice!

For an application that isn't supposed to retain anything past the expiry of a picture, why are they asking to monitor and record my text messages!?!?!

Yeah, we worked crazy hard accumulating the data and this is a sample of over 1.5 million apps. The stuff you see apps ask for is so over the top.

All you need to do to get that done is disable the extension. Once that's done, there is no access.

Try their other site. MyPermissions.com

You're using Firefox or explorer right? Their process of verification is downright absurd. Every time we update the service we need to reverify the addon and it takes months. The irony is that we only update the addon to give more protection to users.

Our service is free. As such, they only thing we ask, is that you pass on the word. The easiest way, is through social services, but we do that without asking you for any permissions whatsoever. Also think of it this way, where do people actually need protecting? On those exact social services :-)

They actually are, but the issue here isn't the easier login service, it's what kind of info they gain access to when they do. Some of the information makes ZERO sense with what the application or site actually do.

Unfortunately, there's no way we can help you without getting that kind of access. That being said, we really expect people to do their due diligence when giving security apps permission to act on their behalf. We'd love to hear if you can think of a better way for us to do it.

Interesting. We'll take a better look at that flow.

Thanks for the recommendation! We're always trying to improve our pages.

Hawkee. The email address is collected for the sole purpose of retrieving the apps you may have trusted next time you log in. Would you feel more comfortable if we asked for your detail once per session? About the removal of apps, what you can also do is remove all the apps, one click. You'll only be cutting the connection, not the deleting the account. Once done, if ever you need to use those apps again, all you'll have to do is reconnect.
