2. Restrict Chrome Extensions
Description
Less secure apps don’t employ modern security standards and measures, such as OAuth. Using apps lacking in security measures increases the risk of accounts being compromised. Blocking these apps helps keep users and data safe.
Examples of apps that don’t support modern security standards include:
- Native mail
- Contacts, and calendar sync applications on older versions of iOS and macOS X
- Some computer mail clients, such as older versions of Microsoft Outlook
Examples of apps that do support modern security standards are:
- Gmail
- Windows Mail
- Office 365
- Outlook for Mac
- PayPal
- Amazon
- Basecamp
