Hello,
I recently borrowed tablet that I needed to create app for some company, that was the chief's son tablet. I did the job, gived it back and was sure that i logged out from my google account. But right now on my google account in "my apps" I see thousand of free apps and I am scared that this kid will start buying paid games on my credit card. I contacted chief via e-mail, but till now there is no answer. Cannot contact him personally because right now I am not in the city.
So is there any way to exclude one of devices from my google account via web browser on my computer?
Can't you just change your Google password instead?
Well, I didn't thought about this, actually I can do it if there is no other way. I do not know how complicated it will be, because I have this two-step verification login etc.
I don't believe there is any other way of simply deleting a device from your Google account.
Hi
I just found an app for my school scheme (which set alarm, notifications about new classes and so).
But I'm curious if such an app can see my login details and what I do in it when I use i.
The rights it asks for is
Identity
Pictures/media/files
So what i'm asking, is what this app more specific can do. As it's some random dude who made it. The app itself is more than great, but I don't want that he have my login details to my school.
Thanks in advance
Login details to what?

If I login on the app to my school. Can the app send the data to the "guy" who made the programs with the listed permissions the app use?
So you're asking if some random school app is able to share your login details with the app developer, right? So, I'm asking again, login details to what?
I think that the application is made by some of the students, and every student have its username/pass to login to the school system and see schedules, exams, etc. I think that the developer can somehow collect usernames and passwords.
Oh, then it's dependent on the server and not the application itself. Passwords can be either stored in plain text or encrypted/salted/hashed. I wouldn't worry too much about the admin getting hands on my account on his own server. Bad things can happen if you use the same password for other stuff too - but you should never do it anyway.
Hello!
So today in classone of my classmates found out how to download and install any apps on my and my friends Nexus 5 without we knowing it or allowing it.
The only information I gatherd from interrogating him are listed here:
I did "95%" of the work myself by logging in with my google account on my phone
it is done via PC
it has something to do with google play account and connecting to google gmail
EDIT:
it can be done for every phone but he choose this one
it was all on one site, no download
if anyone know how to do it or how to stop someone from doing this please replay ASAP.
Thanks!
To put it simply,
Your classmate likely knows your google account (gmail) password.
By knowing this they can easily log into the play store using your account from a PC and push (install) any app to any device on your account.
Change your password ASAP !

That is no magic trick and certainly no hack or bug.
Your Phone is linked to your Google account, so when you are logged in with your Google account on a PC then you will be able to install Apps from the playstore to any phone that is linked to the same Google account.
Don't let other people play around with your Google account!!!!
And if you're not sure if your classmate saw your password then change it ASAP and to be sure enable 2 step authentication in your Google account.

How to recover your Google Account or Gmail - Google Account Help
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.
support.google.com
You should have a phone number and another email account associated with your Google account. You risk completely and permanently losing access otherwise.
These accounts seldom get hacked if you have a very strong password that you change periodically, but it's not 100% hack proof.
Experience has taught me never to use verification Qs, the devil is in the details.
One missed letter in any of the brain picking Q responses can bone you hard.
Lol, do you really want Google to know your mother's maiden name? NO.
I lost a Gmail account over a decade ago due to hackers along with thousands of other Gmail users. It can happen... cover your assets

YES.
If Google's advices can't help so how XDA members could help? Do you really think that they know it better than Google?

I'm sorry if I should be posting this in a different place. But there isn't really other places that are providing help with this issue.
Here is the issue. When I go to my google account on my computer. I go to setup 2FA. Now for some reason, I'm already logged into my account on my computer. Now it's asking me to login onto my phone. I should be able to get a 2FA code from my computer to put into my google authenticator. I would have to log out of my computer account. What's the point of having to login into my google account from my computer. If it asks me to login into my phone. I'm confused.
When I researched the issue I found something about back up codes.
I get to this part
At the top, tap Security.
Under "Signing in to Google," tap 2-Step Verification. You may need to sign in.
Under "Backup codes," tap Continue .
There is no backup codes options. I even go to more option, and there is no back up codes option. I'm assuming I'm going to get a backup code on my desktop computer to enter into my google authenticator. But I'm not finding it? What is going on here? Is there a way to get that code?
I want to get my code to protect my google account. And then on my smart phone that I don't have it connected to the internet. I want to add that code to the authenticator so I can use 2FA to protect my account. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is google making this extra complicated? The google authenticator says to Scan a QR code or Enter a setup key. I know it seems I should be posting this issue some where else, but I'm not getting a support there. And I know you guys use phones a lot and have experience with phones. Do you have this issue with google authenticator? Because the google authenticator app itself doesn't say anything about signing in. In the first place. It just says Setup your first account. And if I'm logged into my computer on google. Why have that option if they don't want you to do it from there in the first place. And there google authenticator says nothing about logging in
Update:
Well, apparently you need to be logged in online on your mobile device. Otherwise when you go to your web browser and login there and then go to setup 2FA it wont see the device. And it won't give you a code. I'm not sure why they have it setup this way. But it can be any android mobile device I believe. Even if vmware if you so choose.
