Passwords

Password into the session

In a remote session DeskRanger types a saved password directly into the other computer, for example at the sign-in window, never through the clipboard.

One click in the session menu

In the “More” menu you choose “Enter password”. The menu shows the entries that belong to this device: first those linked to the device, then those whose name or website names the device. One click types the password into the field where the cursor is on the other device.

  • That works when you control the device, also in the sign-in window
  • On Linux a small window with the entries for this device opens

Never through the clipboard

The password goes straight to the other device as typed characters. It never lands on the clipboard, neither on yours nor there, and DeskRanger does not display it.

  • Special characters arrive as saved: the device types with its own layout
  • If your passwords are locked, the menu offers “Unlock”
  • If control is switched off, the entry stays greyed out

Passwords stay protected

If a session runs without a prompt, the remote computer’s own passwords stay locked. DeskRanger never answers a request for your passwords from a remote session: approving works only directly at the device.

  • More about the passwords is on the “Passwords” page

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Can the person at the other device see my password?

DeskRanger does not display it and never puts it on the clipboard. It is only sent as typed characters into the field.
