Have you given Pokémon Go full access to everything in your Google account?
- tedmiston 10y ago> The issue appears to stem from the fact that Niantic Labs uses an outdated version of Google’s shared sign-on service. ... > ... But it seems that because Niantic Labs used an unsupported, out-of-date version of the sign-on process, that permission-granting step was skipped, prompting Google to default to warning users that the app had “full access” to their accounts. ... > Slack security engineer Ari Rubenstein has confirmed that, despite the misleading entry, only basic permissions are granted to the app. “‘Full account access’ is not the best wording, and should probably be changed on Google’s end,” Rubenstein wrote. “My best guess for what is happening is that one of the scopes is a legacy ‘login’ scope from OAuth1 which may be leading the UI to default to ‘Full account access’, when in reality, it only has the above perms.” Sounds better than expected.
