refresh remote control password?
« on: August 29, 2015, 09:11:25 AM »
TeamViewer gives me an "Allow Remote Control" block, with my computer ID and a random password. As in "Please tell your partner the following ID and password". Is there a simple way to refresh that password? That is, if I want to allow a partner to have ONE access, I'd like to change that random password after he gets that access. I understand I can do that by closing TV and relaunching it, but that's a bit of a hassle. I'd like to believe there is an easier way of doing it.

There is a recycle arrow just to the right of the password.
pressing that will change the password

Recycle arrow to the right of the password? I sure don't see it. Only thing to the right of the pasword (and the "your ID") is a thin vertical black line. I'm using TV9, though. Is this a 10 upgrade?

I think there's an option (under advanced) to reset the password after every connection, if that is what you are looking for.

Thank you. That's not exactly what I was after, but it works, such that the password automatically gets changed after each session. In fact, that might be better than what I was after!
