Account safety

Disconnect a lost device.

If a paired phone or laptop goes missing, remove it directly in Afar on your Mac or sign out every remote session below. Removing a device on your Mac works right away, even without an internet connection.

At your desk

Remove the device in Afar on your Mac

Your Mac has the final word over who can reach its screen, terminal and files. None of these steps require an internet connection or an account token.

Press ⌘. or choose Stop Remote Session from Afar in the menu bar to take back the screen and keyboard immediately.
Open Afar → Paired Devices, select the missing phone or laptop, and click Revoke Device. Its credential in macOS Keychain is deleted at once while your other paired devices keep working.
Or quit Afar from Terminal to close every active local, VPN and relay connection at once:
```
osascript -e 'tell application "Afar" to quit'
```

Away from your desk

Sign out every remote session

If you aren’t near your Mac, sign in with the Apple or Google account you use in Afar. Every session on your account ends at once, and a connection open through Afar’s relay closes within five minutes, or ten if Afar can’t be reached.

Checking whether you’re signed in…

JavaScript is turned off in this browser, so this can’t run here. Remove the device in Afar on your Mac above; it works without an internet connection.

Signing out remote sessions never locks you out at your desk, and pairing a replacement phone later still requires confirming a six-digit code on the Mac itself. For security questions, see our Security page or write to security@fromafar.app.
