Why are less secure apps not available for my account?
We are improving the security of your app with each release.
By default, only less secure apps are available for your account. When we find security issues in the less secure apps, they are also disabled or require that you turn on less secure apps manually. We may change this in the future.
I want more secure apps to be available for my account. You can request more secure apps to be available for your account by following these steps: Click the Settings button from the top menu. Select your account from the options on the left. Scroll down to More App settings and select the More Secure Apps switch. Note that we recommend that you keep some apps on your device unless you know that they are safe to keep on your phone.
Note that some apps have built-in functionality for security as shown below. To learn more about how to turn this on and off, and find links to help improve security for your apps, see Improve your security for your apps.
If you would like to help us reduce security issues in your apps, please see Reducing known and emerging issues in your apps. How do I see a list of my apps? Select Account Details. In the Account Overview section, click More App settings, to open the screen shown in the following figure: If you decide to keep an app, it can no longer be removed. However, if you delete all apps except those indicated by the purple checkmark, the number of usable apps will decrease slightly. Please note that this happens on your Wi-Fi connected devices only.
