Is it safe to connect my social accounts to a scheduling tool?
It is safe when the tool connects through the platform's own sign-in page, because you never give it your password and you can remove its access at any time. Check what permissions it asks for, and avoid any tool that asks you to type your social media password into its own form.
How a proper connection works
You are sent to Instagram, Facebook or Google to sign in there. The platform shows what the tool is asking to do and you approve. The tool receives an access token, not your password.
What to check
That the sign-in page is really the platform's. That the permissions match what the tool does. That the tool explains how it stores tokens and how to have your data deleted.
How Spica Post handles it
Access tokens are stored encrypted. Nothing is published without your approval. You can disconnect an account or have everything deleted on request.
What a tool should never ask for
Your password for a social network. A proper tool sends you to the network's own sign-in page and never sees what you type there. If a tool asks you to type your Instagram or Facebook password into its own form, stop.
How to disconnect
From your account page in the tool, or from the network's own settings, where every app you approved is listed. Either one ends the access.
