is it safe to login with my personal Gmail account?

Hi I have at home Nvidia shield Mibox Hisense tv Nexus player

All with Android tv. For longest time I only logged in with a secondary accou t that does not have access to anything. Unfortunately google assistant doesn't provide me with personal results (Long ago) The reason I did this is because Android tv is open and (after setup) does not require user and password. I don't want to expose my personal information. Somebody could sideload Gmail or Drive for example (it is is my home but why take the risk) Is the situation any different now? UPDATE: Clarified post a little

Been doing it for years.Nothing has changed. Can't really imagine somebody going through all that trouble to get into my email at my own house. I live in a safe place though.

It is not possible to simply sideload Gmail APK and login into your email account, it wouldn't work.

Is this tv in the lobby of a hotel or your own house? Jfc.

I answered my own question: I installed from Google play the file commander app and then set to integrate Google drive. Let me select the account used to sign in to Android tv. No password asked So I will (continue to) refrain to use my personal google account on Android tv

No, somebody couldn't just "sideload" Gmail or Drive.

LOL, it does require username and password (or PIN instead of them). You need to set it up first.
