Disadvantages of Google Sign-In

If Google's security is ever compromised, all data associated with Google Sign-In could be at risk. Limited Control: Using Google Sign-In limits the control users have over the personal information shared with third-party websites and apps.

One of the more beneficial aspects of logging in with your Google or Facebook account is that these platforms include two-factor authentications (2FA), which invariably boosts the site's security in question. Even if your account has a strong password, there's always a possibility that the password could be hacked.

Google uses this information to verify your identity, and to protect you and us from fraud and abuse.

Google shows users a history of account activity on the Last Account Activity page. If you see an unfamiliar IP address, device, or location on this page, it means someone has access to your account. Be aware that smartphones and tablets may show mobile carrier information that doesn't correspond to your location.

Check for suspicious account activity

Go to your Google Account. On the left navigation panel, click Security. On the Recent security events panel, click Review security events. Review your recent activity and look for unfamiliar locations or devices.

Click on the gear icon on the top-right of the Third-party apps and services section. You will see a toggle in the Sign in with Google settings section. Click the toggle, and the sign-in prompt will no longer appear on third-party sites.
