Take a look at this useful video where Edward Snowden talks about password security.ĪnyDesk keeps a local record of all connection attempts to your machine.

You can use a password manager to make this more convenient and ensure the highest level of security.

We also suggest that you change your password regularly.

Never use the same password across different online services, applications and accounts: if one of them is compromised, they all are.

(But if your password is long, you can spare a lot of weird characters that are hard to remember.) A password with more than 12 characters is highly recommended.

The best and most secure passwords are long, unique and random.

Anyone who knows the password and your AnyDesk ID has full access to your computer. In case you are seeking the help of a PC repair service, please make sure you know the vendor. We from AnyDesk will never ask for your ID or password and legitimate support companies will never cold-call you. Always double-check when a third party contacts you and requests your AnyDesk Address. You can set a password for unattended access there.īut please be very careful when handing out your password or allowing a connection to your machine. If you need to access your PC without someone letting you in, go to the security panel in the options dialog. This prevents you from accidentally letting strangers in. On a fresh AnyDesk installation, you can only let other people in if you have opened your AnyDesk program window. Connection requests must be accepted from a real person in front of your PC. The default settings don’t allow unattended connections to your computer. Furthermore, you can review the current encryption mode, verification status and client fingerprint by hovering the mouse cursor over the lock icon in the status bar.Īll connections use AES-128 bit encryption in GCM mode by default Licensed versions of AnyDesk provide even stronger encryption. So, if you always check the connecting person’s AnyDesk-ID, you’re on the safe side. This makes it impossible for a stranger to fake your AnyDesk-ID and pretend to be you. Both ends of a connection are cryptographically verified.

Any desk uses TLS1.2 based encryption, which is also used in online banking.
