Myuukia: Basically u install unchecked code from github with those buttons and they can do whatever. They will take no responsibility if u loose your accounts later down the road. So i would advise u to disconnect all community integrations.
It's unchecked if you don't check it. It's just a bunch of python that you can go and look at without even having to download it. sandsnake: (3) you have no idea if these plugins store your account credentials on your local drive securely and what else they are doing with your credentials (like sending them across the network).
(4) you do not know how to delete your credentials if you want to stop using a particular "community plugin".
If you are that concerned it is open source so you can just go and have a look. All of the code is run on your computer so to delete the credentials you can just hit the disconnect thing in the integration settings thing.

FrAnubis: The act alone of having the code ready to see means that there are no ill intentions.
The fact that you cannot code (nor me for that matter, I'm a noobie when it comes to that even if I have made apps before), doesn't mean that the information isn't available to everybody. It's like not trusting a full on EULA because it's in a language you do not understand yourself.
THIS. ALL OF THIS. It's open-source so if there was anything wrong going on then many many many people would notice and it would be removed off of the face of the earth.

Look here here for the specific platform and then click on the name and look under issues. For example the steam plugin's issues page is here. That should work for most of them. If issues aren't enabled or whatever then wait for someone else to pick it up and enable it or take it upon yourself to improve it.
