Raspbian: Password and ID problems
Hi everybody,
I wanted to give you an update on the password and ID issues:
As you have reported, the problem only exists on Raspbian. Meanwhile I could confirm that it only happens on recent images of Raspbian. As old images with all updates installed behave as intended, I consider this a bug in Raspbian. If it was intentional, they probably would have changed it for updated installations, too.
The observed change is that recent Rasbians no longer have the file /var/lib/dbus/machine-id and the file /etc/machine-id is no longer static, but randomly changed with every reboot.
We will implement a solution on our side, avoiding this dependency on distribution-specific behavior. Please understand that a well-implemented and well-tested update will take a few weeks. Thanks for your patience and support!

Thanks, created headaches for me wondering if I had entered the wrong password...
Please update this post when https://pages.teamviewer.com/published/raspberrypi/ has been updated with a new version with a fix for this.
Thanks,

The machine-id change in Raspbian has also cause problems with other packages. I was able to workaround the problem with the following steps.
Seems as if the machine-id tmpfs filesystem (which is what's causing the machine-id to change on every reboot) is only created if the actual file doesn't exist in the filesystem.
1. back up the current machine-id:
sudo cp /etc/machine-id /etc/machine-id.old
2. unmount the machine-id tmpfs filesystem (recently introduced in raspbian):sudo umount /etc/machine-id
3. replace the unmounted filesystem with the backup:sudo cp /etc/machine-id.old /etc/machine-id
4. Reboot the pi and reset the teamviewer password one last time.I've tried this on a few Pis running the latest Raspbian update, both the IDs and Passwords are now preserved between reboots.
