What you will do
By the end, you will know what to read, what to question, and how to remove access you no longer need.
You will need: An app or AI tool you already use, to practise on its settings page.
An example to think about
An app asks to "view your address". That is a small request. An app asking to "spend any amount from your wallet" is a much bigger one.
The steps
Pause at the prompt
When an app asks to connect, stop before you press approve. Nothing is lost by taking a minute.
Read what it asks for
Is it only asking to see something, or to act for you, such as spending or sending? The second kind needs far more care.
Ask whether it needs this
Does the permission match the job? A game score page does not need access to spend your funds.
Check who made it
Search the name, find the official website, and look for reviews from trusted sources.
Try with a spare account
Use a separate wallet or limited account for trying new things, with little or nothing in it.
Review and remove
Most wallets and AI tools have a settings page listing connected apps. Remove the ones you no longer use.
