Linux Mac ohne Kamera verbinden Wortcode

Connect Linux and Mac without a camera using a word code

Why 4 to 6 short words are often better than a long link when connecting two desktop devices.

Who is this for?

For developers, admins, and anyone moving between Linux PC, Mac, VM, or a second browser window.

The problem

Without a camera, QR becomes impractical. Long links are secure, but annoying and error-prone to type.

The ClipToss way

Word-code mode creates short words that are entered on the second device. The browser derives the session key from them and then transfers content encrypted.

Step by step

  1. 1Open ClipToss on device A and choose word code.
  2. 2Enter the shown words on device B.
  3. 3After pairing, send short text, links, or small files.
  4. 4Close the session after the transfer.

Practical tips

  • Only read or show words in a private setting.
  • In public spaces, copying the secure link is better than typing aloud.
  • For multiple transfers, ClipToss also attempts a direct WebRTC connection.

FAQ

Is a word code secure enough?

It is meant for short sessions and is additionally protected by expiry, rate limits, and client-side encryption. It does not replace a permanently stored key.
