I've looked everywhere in my rental account (and the API docs) and can't seem to find a link that'll let me [end-users] revoke a previously granted application's access. Surprisingly, it's not even in the "My connections (updates and other applications)" box!
So how do end-users manage third-party access to their account?
I currently have pani's Android app linked to my account while I read through the docs.
good question. as an aside note that your credentials and token is only stored on your device - not anywhere else outside of lovefilm.com.
one option may be to
1. click on "reset" on the lovefilm android app menu. This will clear all settings and delete your token/auth.
2. and then open the lovefilm app and it will again take you to the lovefilm website to ask your permission - here you can "deny" access instead of granting access.
I am guessing your second request to cancel should supersede the inital grant.
This appears to be a regression on the website - we are incorrectly failing to display the link where you would expect it.
In the meantime you can visit this link manually to manage your apps:
Thanks for the link Alasdair - I had tried a number of URL's, 'manage' wasn't one of them :/
Just for a bit of clarification, this wasn't specifically aimed at denying access to the 'Droids Lovefilm' app. I've just started with the API and like to have user authentication/authorisation worked out from the start (URL provided to users to revoke access to their account).

I will file a bug report internally to get this fixed.

Apologies for the delay in replying.

Anyways, thanks again.
