google warns "Unverified developer" for private site with spreadsheets API

Question

I privately host a site for my family that uses the Google Spreadsheets API (readonly). I received an email from google looking to "Remove risky access to your data". My site is listed with a warning:

I've gone through the verification process (filling out this form: https://support.google.com/code/contact/oauth_app_verification) but got the response that if the site is used privately "you don't need to go through the verification process". They state this in their FAQ also: OAuth Developer Verification Form FAQ.

However, the site still shows a warning in Google's security check-up. I can ignore this but I think other family members will be worried unnecessarily OR ignore future warnings about other apps assuming it's the family one they normally ignore.

Is there a way to verify myself as a developer of a private site or mark the access as trusted so the warning doesn't recur?

Answer 1

I ended up making my site public and going through the usual verification process.

Answer 2

Not really an answer, but rather to flag that this is an issue my dilemma as well. Although I run time-based Google Script within an organization. I've contacted folks at the Google Cloud Platform and they have opened a case. However, here is something interesting I've stumbled across just now. Go to your Google account and do Security Checkup

After the checkup your screen might be showing something like this

Try clicking "Dismiss" to prevent Google from removing your app.

I'm just testing it myself and if in an hour (that's how long it usually takes Google to remove your own script from the list of self-authorized apps with access to account info) Google won't remove it, I guess it would work for me!
