- andrei_says_ 9y agoI’d like to know this as well. Thank you.
- hackerews 9y agoGood question. You'll need to trust the company behind this, and make sure the scopes they're requesting are reasonable. Similar to any other app you use that asks you to "sign in with x". Luckily here, the company behind this (https://www.blockspring.com https://www.blockspring.com) is used by thousands of businesses, so a safe bet.
