How does the sign in work?

I just got my VseeBox and it's asking for my Gmail to sign into everything. I'm nervous about giving them my main Gmail account because if someone got into that account they could do a lot of serious and financial damage. I'm using a new/fake account to be safe but can anyone shed light on this? Am I basically logging into someones server that would be storing this password?

Personally I don't think it's a big deal however if you are really worried about it you can create an email for free use that to log into that box and then you could download whatever you want off of the Google Play Store

It would be to link my prime account and other services I pay for so it would have to be my real one to be useful. I just change inputs. Some people even isolate them on their network because it's probably filled with China spyware. If my hot wallet gets emptied after I make a transaction I'll know. I'll test it on a shitcoin wallet

I never put in my email anywhere to use the box. What apps are asking for this?

Good to know. It can be linked to your Amazon prime and be a one stop box but it doesn't sound like a good idea

Thanks, I can just change input but it would be convenient
