How it asks before acting
Before it acts

Checks with you before sensitive actions like sending an email or making a purchase.

Before it acts

Payments need your sign-off.

Watch out for

You choose per app how much access it gets. For email, read-only or allowed to send. AP reported a seller whose Muse, on 'always allow', shared his pickup address with a Marketplace buyer.

Uses saved Chrome passwords once you allow it.
