EDIT: Here's the original question, and underneath is the answer by @Carn

He was super helpful and thank God for Steemit's transparency.


So I've just checked my outgoing votes on my Steemit account and it appears a bot is using my account to upvote random posts... I don't really want this to happen because it might upvote posts I don't agree with, plus it's taking away voting power from posts I really want to support. How do I remove the permissions from this bot?

Once this question is answered I'll edit this post with the answer and credit to whoever answered... thanks!

Answer by @Carn:

It was SteemAuto (this is specific for my situation). You can either head over to its website or use this link (https://v2.steemconnect.com/revoke/@steemauto) to revoke its permissions. You can look Steemconnect up if you want to verify that it is legit (it is 馃槈).

You can view your current permission holders at http://steemd.com/username@username under "Authorities". Just copy and paste the name of the app into the last part of the Steemconnect link to revoke a permission.
