a website is asking me to authorize my lichess account to be able to play
#Lichess account authorization

see what information it is requesting, if it is "only public data", it should be fine

when it's more than public data, it depends on which website it is.

it's requesting :
Read email address
Play games with the bot API
Read incoming challenges
Send, accept and reject challenges
Play games with board API

dev showdown win

dunno what that is. personally i would probably not trust it to send/accept challenges and play on my account.

btw is there a way to deauthorize it later on ?
opaque bronze
yes, let me check if i can find the link quickly.
it should be here at the bottom somewhere:
https://lichess.org/account/security
(you can find that page via profile > preferences > security)
you can remove the authorization by clicking the red button to the right, in case that was not obvious.
