Comments and Reviews
Well, I used this as a last resort because I didn't want the 5 min time limit that TeamViewer impose on free sessions, and because Chrome Remote Desktop couldn't punch through my friend's NAT firewall for some reason. We were amazed at how easy this was to use (up and running in seconds) , especially considering no need to install, and a tiny download. Image quality and speed were top notch. It even placed my friends dual monitors into separate tabs at the top of the screen so I could flick between them easily.
Didn't try any extra features like file transfers or anything, so can't comment on that, but definitely recommended this based on remote desktop access alone.
I had the complete opposite experience. Couldn't connect to another machine on my LAN. If it can't hit the machine on the other end of my desk... 🤷♂️
I was a huge fan, I use it ALOT since everyone and their dog wants me to fix their computers and I like fixing them. Lately a huge nagging has started to buy a licenced version and weird slowdowns and disconnects. That is exactly what was happening with TeamViewer when I first found Anydesk. Now this is why I am here again. I need to find an alternative now, since I cannot relay on Anydesk free version working when I need it. I would even pay around 300...400€ to get a perpetual licence. But I just cannot stand subscriptions.
I tried this for unattended remote access to a desktop at a residence. It worked while I was testing it there. It ceased working the next time I tried to access it a few days later. The UI is confusing and weird as well. Poor UX. Not recommended.
I use it for free. Send a link to a portable client to somebody, then connect to fix something. Mostly get no money for this. If I decide to do it commercially, then it could be worth some payment.
Locked Beg/Negging screen to sign up for their pro-paid version. Enshitification

I like this AnyDesk remote desktop free for personal use. If of interest when someone is in need of computer assistance. It installs and works easy, safely, sessions last up to an hour, to use longer just have to log back in.
Passwords are stored and/or transmitted in clear text, as evidenced by leak 2024-02. That is, neither a hash nor a salt is used.
Passwords you write of are not descriptive, I use no password, other than to log onto account at https://my.anydesk.com, this password is not in clear text. As for connecting to another computer, clear text is ID only, computers only connect when and if popup is allows the connection. Connection is very well encrypted. I do not take your comment seriously and may I add all of your wording is speculative.
