Toms Hardware Google login wants Contact info/edit

[shadowed]

Why would it need access to edit my contacts in gmail ?

I believe that's just a general access permissions allowed like when you add an app on Facebook, it asks for a pile of permissions it may or may not actually end up using. We aren't digging through your gmail contacts - none of the parts of the forum login have anything to do with contacts. It's identity confirmation only.

Ok, thank you.

I wasn't really concerned about being able to read it so much asking permission to edit them.

I am not going to bother with a google account login.
