What's the difference between Windows/Android adb "connect" versus "pair"?
<https://i.postimg.cc/rmBHmvtV/adb18.jpg> Windows adb vysor & scrcpy

The background technical stuff is that both Windows vysor & scrcpy freeware
mirror Android 12 using the PC display, mouse, keyboard & clipboard...
Vysor freeware: <https://www.vysor.io/download/>
Scrcpy freeware: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/scrcpy.mirror/>

You can connect Android 12 to Windows 10 adb over Wi-Fi using either...
a. adb connect, or
b. adb pair

Where the syntax for each of those two commands is the following...
a. adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555
b. adb pair 192.168.0.2:12345 123456

Where in those examples, 192.168.0.2 is the Android IP address
and 5555 is the default adb port (adb tcpip 5555)
and 12345 is the random android12-assigned port
and 123456 is the android12-assigned wifi pairing code

The main difference between the two commands (AFAICT) may be that the
latter "pair" is newer than the older "connect", where the "pair" command
is only available in Android 12 and up (as far as I'm aware anyway).

However, that means we have a choice, right?

What's the difference in practical use between adb connect vs adb pair?

Sometimes on Usenet you can find people who know a lot more than you do.

I think the difference may simply be encryption or lack thereof...

C:\> adb connect HOST[:PORT]
connect to a device via TCP/IP [default port=5555]

C:\> adb pair HOST[:PORT] [PAIRING CODE]
pair with a device for secure TCP/IP communication

Note that stackoverflow is probably partially wrong in this instance.
*Difference between adb pair and adb connect?*
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70956975/difference-between-adb-pair-and-adb-connect>
because Android 11+ can both connect & pair while
Android below that can only connect (but not pair).
