Remote computer a mind of its own

AidaRemote

When I end my session, the remote computer has started automatically generating a new password. I nor anyone else has changed anything. I cannot log back in until I enter the new password. Up until now the password on the remote has remained the same and only changed if Team Viewer was shut down and/or upon reboot. Any ideas?

It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue with TeamViewer where the remote computer is generating a new password automatically after each session. This is actually a security feature in TeamViewer designed to prevent unauthorized access. However, if you require a static password for unattended access, you can set up a personal password that doesn’t change.

Here’s what you can do to set a static personal password:

Open TeamViewer.

Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner.

Navigate to Advanced Settings for connections to this computer.

In the Personal Password section, enter your desired password in both fields.

Click OK.

Remember, this password should be strong and unique to ensure security. If you’ve already set a personal password and it’s still changing, make sure that the “Random password after each session” setting is configured to your preference.

If the problem persists, you may want to check if there are any specific policies applied to your TeamViewer installation that might be causing the password to reset. You can review and edit these policies in the TeamViewer Management Console
