Title: Prompting for passwords
Post by: Lobster1071 on January 22, 2014, 06:51:38 PM

I'm obviously missing a setting, or not understanding something, but for some reason, computers in my "Computers & Contacts" list don't prompt me for passwords when tying to connect (which I would like it to do).

Even after I go to the host computer and change the password for remote access, I then go to the remote computer, select that host computer in the list, and it will open up without it even prompting me to enter the new password.
However, if I select the "Partner ID" on the main Teamviewer window (with the Remote control radio button underneath), it will always prompt me for a password, which is perfect.  This is how it should be in the Computers & Contacts list as well, which it isn't.

I would simply like to know how to get it to prompt me for a password each time I click on a computer for remote access in the "Computer & Contacts" window.

Thanks.

You must have the password saved in the 'properties' of the computer in computers and contacts. If you remove the saved password, you should be asked for a password each time.

Also if you have made a connection to a computer this logo of teamviewer, then you don't need to enter a password again. Make sure that you log out of teamviewer (at the machine local to you) when not using it, or when you want to use the password again.

Thank you very much Matt.  That was exactly what I was looking for.
I appreciate your response.
