Your Screens ID

What is a Screens ID?

A Screens ID is a unique identifier used by Screens and Screens Connect that makes your registered computers (Macs & Windows PCs) remotely accessible.

In order to link Screens and computers where Screens Connect is installed, you need to use the same Screens ID everywhere. This is how Screens is able to find your computer(s) remotely.

Note: Your Screens ID does not store usernames and passwords, and is not a substitute for the authentication credentials required to log into any given computer. Remote log-in credentials are stored in the Apple Keychain on your iOS device and/or Mac.

Creating a Screens ID

You can create a Screens ID while installing Screens Connect or at https://screensconnect.com. Only an e-mail address and password are required.

Managing your Screens ID

Your Screens ID stores entries for each computer you installed Screens Connect on. It's sometimes advisable to visit our Screens ID management page to clean up any incorrect or outdated entries. To remove an entry, simply click its green Unregister button.

Deleting your account

You can also delete your account from this page.

Changing your Email address

It's not possible to change the email address associated with your Screens ID; a new account must be created. We suggest the following procedure:

Log out of your Screens ID in all Screens and Screens Connect installations.
Log into our Screens ID management page and delete the account.
Create a new Screens ID with your preferred e-mail address.
Use your newly created Screens ID in Screens Connect and Screens.

Signing In

Your Screens ID is what links Screens and Screens Connect together. In order to be able to connect back to your computer remotely, make sure to sign in with your Screens ID in:
