I was a little confused by this is well, which is how I ended up on this page. I used MightyText for a long time and was very happy with it. The combination of it not being fully compatible with Project Fi and a notice that as of next month it was going to have a fee for over 500 texts a month prompted me to uninstall it.
It looks like it doesn't have access to your account in the way I originally thought, but the phone and PC pass the messages along via a Chrome extension. I had 2 extensions installed, one to add it to the Gmail sidebar and another for notifications. After purging the messages I had in the system I revoked access in the Chrome extension options, then removed the plugins. I got MightyText popups about not being logged in until I stopped and re-started Chrome.
