1. Run the installer. It installs the DyneBridge Helper for your Windows user only and doesn't need an administrator. Each Windows user who wants DyneBridge runs it once.
2. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen doesn't recognize it.
3. The installer then asks Windows to check the helper, and Windows shows a Windows Security window about dynebridge-host. Leave the checkboxes as they are and click Allow. If you click Cancel, your phone can't connect: see I clicked Cancel.
4. Open the DyneBridge extension on a login page and scan the QR code with DynePass.

To update, run the new installer over the old one. To remove it, use Settings → Apps and uninstall DyneBridge helper.
