to Google App Engine
Hello, I do not use App Engine but I did receive an absolutely random request to login to App Engine with my google account on Windows 10. Before this happened I had become aware that my Windows 10 machine had been comprimised and that I had a backdoor on it. I am currently reinstalling windows and running a full scan on my PC. But in the midst of this a new tab in Chrome is opened out of nowhere with a page saying whether I wanted to give access to an "application" to do something with Google App Engine, I declined but what worries me is it never said what application like normal applications too and on top of that my computer was comprised. As a reference I had just installed an application called NPack so I could back up my applications to install on another PC and I had installed Rufus to get my reinstall USB ready. Can anyone help me understand why it asked me for this and what it could be, should I be worried?

Hi Aidan,

For your Google Cloud Platform projects, you may visit the "APIs & Services" through the GCP console (by clicking on the hamburger button at top left) and select "Credentials" there. You'll find a list of authorized clients/applications with a descriptive name so that you would be sure you haven't authorized any unwanted party.

I should note that here we provide support for Google Cloud Platform-end products. For questions on Chrome browser, you may contact the respective support team.
