Access tokens: Keeping your information secure
The process is the same for all of our apps that require you log into a third-party service (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Microsoft, etc.). Internally, ScreenCloud cannot and does not have any access to view any of your usernames, passwords, or sensitive information registered into the apps. All we are provided with is what is called an "Access Token", which we may use to login to the aforementioned services on your behalf when you use any of our apps that require to log into another website.
You can consider this an in-between or buffer to help keep your information encrypted and secure. For example, if you were to log into your Facebook account with one of our apps, an access token is then provided to our system that allows ScreenCloud to connect with your account. There is no access to this data, the tokens are kept private to protect your data and also have an expiry date. ScreenCloud will continuously refresh these access tokens that are used to keep you logged into these apps, without having to request login access from you again (unless you are adding a new instance of an app).
Access tokens can also be directly managed through your service also that you are connecting with ScreenCloud, so at any time you can either approve or revoke access from any of the accounts you have connected with our service. For example, you log into your Facebook account to connect with any Facebook app in our store. You will receive a message after logging in with your account to grant permissions for ScreenCloud to connect:
To successfully connect your account, you would have to grant ScreenCloud this permission.
