SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inability to set a fixed password for TeamViewer connections after rebooting a remote computer. Users can connect to the remote machine but face challenges when the connection password resets upon restarting TeamViewer. The consensus indicates that while TeamViewer does not provide an option for a fixed password for security reasons, users can adjust settings to facilitate easier access. Specifically, enabling "Easy Access" allows connections without needing to enter a password each time.

My uncle has a computer at home to which I can use TeamViewer to connect from my computer. I would like to reboot his computer and restart TeamViewer too but that will reset the connection password; he is not at home right now and I can't call or ask him for the password for next log-in. Is there any option or way in the Teamviewer software which I can use to turn on or create a fixed password for all future connections ?

At present I can connect to his computer and sure can change any settings but if I reboot it now, I can't make a connection to it again because the password is changed automatically each time the TV is run.


Thank you.

Unless there is a setting in config, I'm guessing it's an important security feature.
