Hello everyone,

I am currently setting up moonlight game streaming from my Windows 11 PC over GeForce Experience to my retroid Pocket 3+ (Android).

Does someone here know if it is possible to deactivate the PIN when connecting from client to host? (Using it only in my own network, not over internet).

Thanks in advance for your help!

    You cannot disable the Moonlight Authorization Pin. It should simply allow you to put it in and never ask for it a second time.

      too bad… It’s asking me everytime after booting up. So I have to interact with my PC everytime. Without it I could just simply power on AC (using a smart plug) and auto log in to windows and then connect moonlight.

        Oh, just leave your PC on overnight then. It’s a security thing to have to input the Pin. Also, just remote desktop into your PC, and enter the Pin that way if you absolutely want to turn your PC off overnight.

        If it’s a power draw concern, it probably uses less than 40w of power at idle.

          Especially if you were to use sleep mode on the PC - then depending on your setup you can combine that with Wake-on-LAN and then just use another app on your phone/streaming device to send the “magic packet” to initialize a wake up.

          I’m not familiar with Moonlight, but I’d imagine that would prevent it from asking for a pin again as well.

          No power drain concern, just don’t like it to let electronic devices running when not needed. Already thought about RDP, maybe that’s going to be my option

            Power Cycling your PC will end up causing more harm than good because your putting extra stress for every startup.
