Next, we select the username and password on the mobile phone and then go to our computer.

On the PC, we need to open "My computer", select in the left column 
"Network" and wait for the download of all connected devices. In this example, the mobile phone is called Honor8C-44. Next, we open it and enter the username and password that we set up on the smartphone.
