Authentication at the remote computer

Establish connection with a Mac

When establishing a connection with a Mac, Screens offers two different methods for access:

Guest user

This approach does not require user credentials, but does require someone on the target Mac to approve the screen sharing request:

Mac user

With this method, you must enter the user name and password of an existing user on the target Mac.

The user credentials are the same ones you use when you log in to your Mac after a restart or after system changes:

Connecting to a PC

When establishing a connection to a PC, Screens offers two different methods:

No authentication

This method is not recommended as it can make your computer susceptible to vulnerabilities. However, if you use this method, it is advisable to first establish a secure connection and then configure your VNC server to only accept local connections.

VNC password

This recommended method uses the password that you have set in your VNC server settings.
