    • 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.”
  7. 7 Manage your authorized apps. Clicking on the app name will bring up details about the information, which the app has access to.
  8. 8 Revoke access to an app. In case you wish to revoke access to a particular app, click on the “Remove” tab.
    • If you are sure that you want to remove it, click “OK”. Else, click “Cancel”.
Method 2 Method 2 of 5: Managing Passwords
  1. 1 Visit the “Saved passwords” page. Go to the next box on the “Sign-in & Security” page, which is titled, “Saved passwords”.

    • Each Website or app will have its password listed beside it.
    • In case you wish to see the password, click the “eye” icon.

  5. 5 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.
