How to set up unattended access
Unattended access lets you get into your own computers when nobody is there. It works on Mac, Windows and Linux; on Windows it also reaches the sign-in screen.
Step by step

- 2On Windows, turn on «Unattended access»In Settings, turn on «Unattended access». Windows asks for administrator permission once: RemoteBite runs as a service and starts with the computer, before anyone signs in.
- 3On Mac and Linux, open it at loginTurn on «Open RemoteBite when you log in» in Settings so it's available as soon as someone logs in.
- 4Connect from another computerFrom another computer logged in to your account, pick it in «My computers» and connect.
What you get on Windows
With the service on, you see the sign-in screen, the lock screen and admin prompts, and can send Ctrl+Alt+Del. On servers and virtual machines with no monitor, RemoteBite adds a virtual display so the resolution fits your window.
The service updates itself and follows the app as soon as it updates.
How to turn it off
On Windows, turn off «Unattended access» in Settings (Windows asks for administrator permission). To remove a computer from your account, do it from the web dashboard, under Computers.
