App permissions
Review an app’s request
An approval request tells you what a website wants to do with the active account. A one-time decision handles that request; a remembered decision can also affect future requests.
Before you start
- Make sure the active account is the identity you want the website to use.
- Check which website you are using and what action you just started there.
Steps
- Open the extension’s pending request when a site asks to connect, sign, decrypt, or authenticate.
- Check the requesting website and the action. Read the content or destination shown; the code button opens the raw event for closer inspection.
- Choose Approve or Deny for the current request. Open an arrow menu only if you intend to remember a decision.
- For grouped requests, check which requests are selected before approving the group. Revealing blurred message content does not itself approve sending it to the website.
Check the result
- Return to the website and check whether the action completed; review Recent activity if you need to identify the request.
- An unexpected request can be denied. Review saved site or authentication permissions if similar requests are being allowed without the review you expect.
