Clipboard at Windows Login Screen

Hi!

I have a problem using the clipboard-function from TeamViewer to paste a password to the windows login screen. I connect to windows and have to login to it. But the Clipboard is not working at the login-screen, I can not paste the login from my host to the client windows. After login (manually) it is possible, I can paste everything everywhere. Probably a security-function? From TeamViewer or from Windows? For me its not helping. This way I have to keep my passwords simple. This is not good for security...

Greetings
Drongo

    Hi all,

    I just wanted to inform you that our team has discovered a solution that permits clipboard pasting within the sign-in screen. 🙌

    This fix will be included in the upcoming release which is scheduled for February.

    Once the release is confirmed as successful, I will update the thread and share the necessary steps that need to be followed.

    All the best,

    Hi @Dominooch,

    Sorry for coming back late.

    Yes, the update was released. Could you try, update to the latest version on both sides and see if it's working as expected?

    Thanks in advance for your collaboration!

    How does TeamViewer not have this? This is one of several reasons we're dumping TeamViewer.

    I can't paste my credentials in the windows logon screen in TeamViewer is there a way to fix it or a workaround? I'm working from a MacBook. Thanks in advance.

    Hello all,

    For security reasons, it is not possible to copy/paste into the Windows logon screen.

    Is this seriously the official response from Teamviewer? Its a joke right? Every other RMM tool has this feature built in. The whole reason we went with Teamviewer with our NINJARMM was to be able to do this. I guess i will be cancelling TV and going to **Third Party Product**.

    What a joke of a response

    Is TeamViewer not capable of copying and pasting admin credentials into a User Account Control window on a remote session? All other remote platforms have this capability yet it seems that TeamViewer cannot do this .... (See below image for reference) I can copy and paste anything else just not into this window.

    Still a problem. This is not a security issue. all other tools can do this. Just wasted 1hr on phone call with support, who essentially had no clue, and had to create a ticket for engineers. I too am searching for solution or changing and not using teamviewer, period. They did not seem to be even aware this is an issue...

    Hello @Jassu, hello @cl82014,

    I had a chat with our teams and this is definitely something we will actively look into.

    So far, it was made by design, but our teams are reconsidering this.

    I will keep you up-to-date in this thread as soon as I have news to share. 🙌

    Thank you for your contribution and have a great weekend ahead!

    No response from Team Viewer! I'll have to go with another service.

    I hope this is working also on UAC Dialogs and not only on Sign-in screens 😅

    @JeanK has this update been released? i'm finding it hard to believe that i'm paying for TeamViewer licenses without having the simple ability to paste a password in UAC.
