Bridge & your devices · Privacy & security

Is it safe to share my Bridge connecting code with someone?

Short answer: Treat it like an invitation and share it only with the device you're pairing. You still confirm the Tunnel Code before trusting a link, and if the code was seen by someone else, get a new one with New code or Rotate.

Treat it like an invitation: share it only with the device you mean to pair. On its own a code isn't enough to sneak in — you still confirm the Tunnel Code on both screens, and another Mac needs your Confirm — but there's no reason to hand it out.

If you think someone else has seen it, get a new one: New code in the Bridge app, or Rotate on a Mac. Devices you've already paired aren't affected.
