[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1818375, member: 204485"] Yes it sounds a bit suss to me as well. My wife aquired a new iPhone XS in Australia last month and the same thing happened first time she opened Mail. She was asked to enter her gMail accounts (She has three) passwords via Safari on her laptop but, as above, that was all I think. This was the first time I became aware of this new process of logging into Google via Safari so I'm sure that's legit. Reading the points listed above though I wonder if they have been recently added? In point of fact they are very similar to the conditions (permissions) that are described whenever I login to a account like Microsoft or Google. Its the "delete" bit that's different and it gives the first impression that Google can do all these things without your permission but these are the actions that we as users perform all the time and if that's what they are referring to it's just bad wording. When you substitute "Access" for "Delete" it sounds pretty standard. [/QUOTE]
