3. Find the Remote Access section on the installation page.
4. Turn on Remote Access.
5. Confirm you now see your personal remote access URL and password.
6. Save both in a secure location, such as a password manager.

Use Your Remote Access URL in a Browser

1. Open your personal remote access URL in a browser.
2. Enter the remote access password when prompted.
3. Sign in to Home Assistant with your Home Assistant username and password.
4. Confirm that your Home Assistant dashboard loads correctly.

Use the Same Remote Access URL in the Companion App

Password Protection

By default, remote access generates a password to protect access to your Home Assistant instance. Save this password in a secure location, such as a password manager.

When connecting to the remote URL from a browser or from the Home Assistant Companion App, you will be prompted to enter this password before reaching the Home Assistant login page.

If you lose the password, generate a new one from the Remote Access section in your installation page. The old password is revoked instantly and can no longer be used.
