Security Configuration

Before you press Connect

• Use a good quality USB data cable. Charge-only cables will not work. The cable that came with the Pixel is best.
• Plug the cable straight into the computer, not into a USB hub, keyboard or monitor. On a desktop, use a port on the back. If one port doesn't work, try another.
• Make sure the cable is pushed in fully at both ends.
• Unlock the phone and keep the screen on the whole time.
• USB debugging is on: Settings → System → Developer Options → USB Debugging.
• Your license key has been validated above.
• You are using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a Windows, Mac, Linux or ChromeOS computer.

Connecting

• Press Connect Phone via USB above, select "Pixel" in the pop-up at the top-left of your browser, and click Connect.
• When the phone asks "Allow USB debugging?", tick Always allow from this computer and tap Allow.
• Don't see "Pixel" in the pop-up? Close the pop-up, unplug the phone, plug it back in, unlock it, then press Connect Phone via USB again.

Still not connecting?

• Close other programs that use the phone, such as Android Studio, scrcpy or phone manager apps. If you have ADB installed, open CMD and run adb kill-server.
• Close any other tabs with this page open.
• On the phone, turn USB debugging off and on again, or tap Revoke USB debugging authorizations in Developer Options, then connect again.
• Restart both the phone and the computer, then open this page before anything else.
• Try a different cable, or a different computer.
• If it still fails, contact PF Secured support and quote your license key.
