To check what accounts are linked to your Gmail email address, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to your Google Account Settings: Start by opening your web browser and navigating to the Google Account page. You can either search for “Google Account” or directly visit https://myaccount.google.com/.
2. Access the Security settings: Once you are on the Google Account page, click on the “Security” option from the menu on the left-hand side. This will take you to the security settings for your Google Account.
3. Scroll to Connected applications and sites: In the Security settings page, scroll down until you find the section labeled “Connected applications and sites.” This section contains information about the apps and websites that have access to your Google Account.
4. Click on Manage access: Under the “Connected applications and sites” section, you will see a link labeled “Manage access.” Click on this link to view the list of websites and apps that currently have access to your Google Account.
5. Review the list: You will now see a list of all the websites, apps, and services that have been granted access to your Google Account. Take some time to review this list and make sure that you recognize and trust all the entries.
6. Revoke access if needed: If you come across any entry that you no longer use or don’t recognize, it is recommended to revoke access to that particular app or website. To do this, click on the app or website name and then click on the “Remove Access” or “Revoke Access” button. This will immediately disconnect that app or website from your Google Account.
By following these steps, you can easily check what accounts are linked to your Gmail email address and manage the access of apps and websites to your Google Account. It is always a good practice to review this list periodically to ensure the security and privacy of your account.
Please note that while these steps are accurate at the time of writing, Google may update the interface or settings in the future. Therefore, it is always a good idea to refer to official Google support documentation or reach out to Google support if you encounter any difficulties.
