Bridge & your devices · Pairing a device

How do I get a new Bridge connecting code?

Short answer: Use New code in the Bridge app, or Rotate next to “Your connection code” on a Mac. A fresh code replaces the old one for new pairings; devices you've already paired stay paired.

Ask the device that shows the code for a fresh one. In the Bridge app, use New code (or Turn off & get a new code); on a Mac that accepts connections from another Mac, click Rotate next to Your connection code.

A new code is handy if you've shown the old one to someone else, or if a pairing attempt went wrong. Devices you've already paired aren't affected — they stay paired.
