Security — device authorization

How Remotly protects your PC: account login, first‑connection authorization and clearing authorized devices.

Remotly puts the security of transmitted data and the privacy of its users first. Several mechanisms protect your PC against unauthorized access.

Logging in

Logging in to the Remotly host on your PC is possible only with the username and password of your Remotly account — see Account and plans.

Device authorization

Every device that connects to your PC for the first time must be authorized on the PC itself. Unauthorized connection attempts are rejected.

Authorization prompt

Important: keep your Remotly username and password private and never share them.

Clearing authorized devices

Use the Settings → Security tab to see the list of devices you have authorized in the past. You can remove any device at any time; it will need to be authorized again on its next connection.
