The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Is it safe to log into websites with my Google account?

    There are a lot of websites that allow users to log in with a Google account.

    Is there any way my Google account information could be compromised from someone hacking the website I logged into with my Google account?

    I suppose if the login/password isn't secured, then a hacker could have access to your account via the insecure non-Google website. But if the website in question has good security practices, there shouldn't be much to worry over.
