# How do I get a new Bridge connecting code?

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.
