Maintaining my Google account security with Obihai?

(1/3) > >>

jbinkc:
I am very interested in this product, and am about ready to place my order, but I have concerns about  providing my Google account and password to Obihai.  Doesn't this give them access to all my Google account info (Mail, Contacts, Drive, calendar, etc.)?
How are others dealing with this?   What is Obihai's position on this issue?

Also, it doesn't look to me like using the "application specific" password option solves the issue.
Am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks.

jbinkc,

Err on safety and open a new Gmail/GV acct specifically for the OBi. That is what others are doing when they have any concerns about the points you mentioned.

=========================
Thanks Zappy.
This makes sense to me.  I was hoping I could stick with the Google voice number I already have, but looks like I just need to get on with this approach.
Appreciate your help.

You can transfer current GV # to new email account.

Wow, I will have to look into that.  I didn't see that option...
