When using QuickDesk to remotely control multiple computers, you can add frequently used computers to the My Computers list. This lets you quickly select a target computer and start a remote-control session.

To use remote control securely, you must complete a security verification the first time you use QuickDesk. When adding a computer to the list, you can verify with either a Remote Password or a system administrator account.

How do I add a computer to the list?

On the target computer page, click “Add to List,” choose a verification method, and complete the verification. The computer is added to the list after verification succeeds.

Method 1: Verify with a Remote Password (recommended)

1. Click “Add to List” and select “Remote Password Verification (Recommended).”
