Open the Windows 11 installer and complete the installation. Make sure you have administrator privileges so that the software can be installed correctly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to transfer passwords or login credentials from your smartphone later.
Windows Installation
You should now see a link on your desktop. Click on it to open the setup program. In the next step, click the button that appears to install a free license. This assigns the software a unique identifier that you’ll use later to connect it to your smartphone.
Step 1
Once the free license has been installed correctly, you’ll see a QR code in the center that you can use to connect your smartphone to Phrase-Lock Port on your computer. Before you do that, however, you’ll need to open the second setup menu and run a connection check. To do this, click the triangle in the top-right corner, as shown.
Step 2
You will now see the connection settings menu. In the first step, you installed a free license that does not allow you to make any changes to the connection settings.
Now click the blue Test button. The message “Connection ok” should appear. Confirm the message, and we’ll move on to the final step.
Step 3
In the final step, a service will now be launched on your computer that allows your smartphone to transfer login data and credentials to your computer. Confirm the message by clicking “YES” or “JA” so that the service can start.
Your computer is now ready to connect to your smartphone. In the setup program, return to the first screen (click the triangle in the top-left corner) so that you can see the QR code again. We need this to establish the connection to your phone.
You can now continue with “Getting Started”.
