What you're describing is them asking you to give them the password explicitly so they could log in and get your contact list. GP suggested they did this behind the scenes by trying the password you use with their service. That's a pretty big claim.
- TechBro8615 5y agoOh, yeah I see what you're saying. They didn't "guess" your GMail password as far as I know (although I wouldn't put it past them, especially back then). Giving them your password so they can login on your behalf is just as egregious, IMO. Then again, Plaid did the same thing with your bank account and created a multi-billion dollar business out of it.
