Hey! I have just personal gmail account. Do I need to reauthorise it every month? I’ve followed the guide how to get connection using GCP. And I got it working but after all this struggle I can see:  
You have until **October 2nd 2025, 08:28 PM (Thu)** to reauthorize your connection. For more details see our [online help](https://www.make.com/en/help/connections/connecting-to-services#reauthorize-connections).

That doesn’t look like every month. You do have to reauthorize every 6 months though, unless you checked this box when setting up a new connection.

Alternatively, you can set up a custom GCP OAuth connection.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hey @samliew ,  
I have retried this and didn’t get this option you marked above. Instead I got some prompt that [make.com](http://make.com) might be insecure. Any idea? Do I need to verify this app on the google side in order for this to work?

Insecure is correct, there should be a link somewhere you can click to continue.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

I pressed continue to the insecure and then continue again and I was back to [make.com](http://make.com) with " You have until **October 7th 2025, 03:35 PM (Tue)** to reauthorize your connection. For more details see our [online help](https://www.make.com/en/help/connections/connecting-to-services#reauthorize-connections)." Is there any other way to make it lifetime? or I’m doing something wrong?
