I am connecting from my android tab to a win 11 HOST.

I think I have setup UNATTENED on my host, but when I see the host on my tab screen, I can't alter anything.

What have 1 missed in my setup?

Thanks for any help

Sorry, I took out my personal password and put in another, now it seems to work ok.

It doesn't display the personal password, which is a bit of a problem.

I will continue playing with it.

Thanks Chisa for your quick reply, I hope you can read these screen dumps, (This laptop has 2 screens)

This is an internal family project, so I am not too worried about security.

Thanks Ricoaustralia

Hi ＠ricoaustralia,

Thank you for your question. 😊

I understand you're trying to initiate a connection from your Android tablet to your Windows 10 computer. To help you more effectively, I’d like to clarify a few details about your setup:

Did you set the Personal Password on your remote device (Windows 10 computer)?
You mentioned that “on the connect with ID screen the password field is now EMPTY.” Just to confirm—are you referring to the password field highlighted in orange in the screenshot below? If not, can you please show us the screenshot of the page you are talking about?

Please note that, for security reasons, we recommend using alternatives, such as Easy Access, to fixed passwords. This link provides an overview of more secure authentication methods you may find helpful: The risks of fixed passwords and alternatives for secure unattended access - TeamViewer Support
