It can, however, be a little inconvenient to have someone else on the other side to allow access to the other device. The way AnyDesk works is that you need the device\u2019s address or ID to establish a connection. You’re up the creek without a paddle if you don\u2019t have access to these two resources. In the article below, we\u2019ll show you how to auto-connect<\/strong> to any of your devices with AnyDesk<\/strong> in 3 simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to auto connect to AnyDesk remotely<\/h2>\n\n\n

  1. Have AnyDesk installed on applicable devices<\/h2>\"How

    Before you can use AnyDesk, you\u2019ll need to make sure that you have the utility installed on both the devices<\/strong> you wish to connect. If you intend to create a network of various connected devices, each of these will need to have the app installed. <\/span><\/p>\n

    No matter which device you have, or want to connect to, the installation process<\/strong> is painless and quick to complete. The added benefit of AnyDesk is that you can connect to any supported OS, even if each device runs on a different system. Cross compatibility at its finest.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. Set Password on Remote Device<\/h2>\"How

    Now, you need to open AnyDesk<\/strong> on the remote device you wish to connect to. Yes, this means that the remote device still needs to be local for this step. Do this before you forget your laptop or phone at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Next, navigate to the Security tab<\/strong> within the AnyDesk menu on the left-hand side of the screen. You\u2019ll want to make sure that the option for unattended access is enabled, and then you\u2019ll want to set a password for unattended access so that only you can access the remote device unattended. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Click on \u2018Set Password for Unattended Access\u2019 and enter a password<\/strong> of your choice. Note: \u2018Password\u2019 has never been a safe password and \u20181234\u2019 should have been made illegal a long time ago. While we\u2019re on the subject, if you\u2019re required to use a special character, get creative. The exclamation mark is not the \u2018special\u2019 character you think it is. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  3. Connect remotely from your local device<\/h2>\"How

    This step is for once you\u2019ve inevitably left an integral piece of tech at home, work, or anywhere else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Now that you have remote access<\/strong> set up with a password on the PC you want to access, you can connect to it. To do this, all you need to do is launch AnyDesk and then start a remote session.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You should see the Authorization dialogue appear<\/strong>. Here, you\u2019ll be able to input the password you set up for the remote device when it was still a local device.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Next, check the box \u2018Log in Automatically From Now On\u2019 if you plan on leaving your devices anywhere apart from where you need them again. (Who plans that? Just check the box for safety’s sake)<\/span><\/p>\n

    Now you can click on \u2018OK\u2019 to connect to the remote computer<\/strong> and control that device. It is essential to know that if you have selected the option to log in automatically, AnyDesk does not save the password. Instead, it generates a specific token for that connection. <\/span><\/p>\n

    This means that even if someone else has access to your computer, they will not be able to see the password to the other computer. This keeps the information safe and secure. So please, remember your password; AnyDesk isn\u2019t Google and won\u2019t do it for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/div>
