New X / Twitter account questions.

[Madd62]

I just started opening an X account. It's running.

I chose to setup via my Google account.

This has a neutral username and a personal name based Google account / Gmail address.

I separately searched how to close / delete this X account if I required.
(I remember Facebook was difficult)

If requested to close and then not used for 30 days, it should delete.

I haven't downloaded the app as yet.

To start the process of deletion I would be asked for my password.

I was not asked to create a password when setting up the X account ...

... so I presume I would enter my Google account password in X / Twitter ... and that's my worry.

It seems already set up so I cannot back out now but only start the deletion process or try it for a while and delete another time.

X has my Gmail password, or Google protects that?

Stupid question..?

Anyone?

Your password is safe from Elon. Google just gives a 0auth token

Ah! Thanks.

Never heard of Autho til I looked it up.

Now I have to look for something else to panic about.
