Bridge & your devices · Privacy & security

Can someone else connect to my Mac with Bridge?

Short answer: Only devices you pair. Pairing needs a code from your own screen and a matching Tunnel Code on both devices, another Mac must be confirmed by you, and a forgotten device can't reconnect.

Only devices you pair. Pairing needs the connecting code from one of your own screens, and you confirm the six-digit Tunnel Code on both devices before trusting the link. When another Mac asks to connect to yours, you see “… wants to connect” and must click Confirm — or Reject.

A device you Forget can't dial back in. If you think a code was seen by someone else, get a new one.
