This means we can better identify and prevent suspicious login attempts, preventing hijackers from accessing the account data even if they have your username and password. However, when account access is provided through OAuth, we get more details about the login and can validate it the same way we would with any other login to your account.

If a bad actor got access to your username and password (for example, if you re-use the password on another site that is subject to a data breach), they could access your account data with just that username and password information through an LSA. That’s because LSAs provide a non-Google app access to your account through just a username and password, without any other authentication factor. When account access is provided through an LSA, it puts that account at risk of hijacking. This provides users with more options, and helps users get work done in a way that works well for them. For example, you may give the iOS mail app permission to see your work email. Why this matters Many users use non-Google apps, and give those apps permission to access G Suite data. See below for more details on the possible impact of this change, and some recommendations for change management with users of LSAs. This is a continuation of our previously announced process to limit access to less secure apps to protect G Suite accounts.
