Bridge & your devices · Pairing a device
Do I have to pair again after restarting my Mac or PC?
Short answer: No. Pairing happens once; paired devices are remembered and reconnect on their own when both sides are running. You only need a code again after you Forget a device.
No. Pairing is a one-time step. Paired devices are remembered, and when both sides are running again they reconnect without the code.
The Bridge app also remembers its folders, pause state and settings across restarts, so it picks up where it left off. You only need a connecting code again if you Forget a device and want to pair it once more.
If you set Keep connected for to a limited time, a device disconnects after that time; use Connect on its row to bring it back.
