# How to Revoke Suspicious OAuth Tokens and Connected Apps on Reddit?

Third-party applications and scripts authorized via OAuth can maintain persistent access to your Reddit account. If an app is compromised, your account security is at risk.

## Steps to Audit and Revoke Authorizations

Follow these steps to clean up connected apps:

- Log in to Reddit on a desktop browser.
- Navigate to **Settings > Safety & Privacy** or visit `https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps`.
- Review the list of **Authorized Applications**.
- Click **Revoke Access** next to any application you do not recognize or no longer use.

### Automating Token Revocation via API

Developers can programmatically revoke access tokens using Python:

```python
import requests

auth = requests.auth.HTTPBasicAuth('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET')
data = {
    'token': 'USER_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'token_type_hint': 'access_token'
}
headers = {'User-Agent': 'SecurityAuditScript/1.0'}

response = requests.post(
    'https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/revoke_token',
    auth=auth,
    data=data,
    headers=headers
)
print(f"Revocation Status: {response.status_code}")
```
