Team viewer not accepting password

This morning, I set up a session on my home PC, took a screenshot of the ID and Password. I get to work to connect to the session and it keeps saying the password is invaild. I know im typing it right as I have it in a screenshot, and there are no power settings that would set my PC at home to turn off. 

Any Ideas? Tad frustrating, is there a time out set for the passwords within the sessions? Do they auto refresh?

    Hi @Vikx993

    Thank you for your post. Please note, that the random password will change after each remote connection or restart of TeamViewer.

    It is a better to add a personal password for unattended access, please have a look at this article in our Knowledge Base.

    Best regards.

    I set up a personal password on the computer and turn off all hibernating ,stand by and sleep mode on the computer. But after working for a week, today i have a error that says invalid password. What could happend?

  • I am having the same exact problem with a Windows Server 2012 host that has the last TeamViewer installed. I allows connections from the LAN with whatever passwords I use (I mean the ones I define personally or those the program randomnly generates). But when I try to connect from the Internet using the TeamViewer's ID, I keep falling in the authentication dialog because my password is not recognized. I have collected the log so you can follow along the problem.

    Same problem here. I had been accessing remotely for exactly one week. Now I get an invalid password message.

  • I dont understand this. I have a windows10 machiine with a password on that I remote into. I rebooted it this morning and then tried to connect remotely using the windows password (after connecting using teamviewer). I know my passowrd is ocrrect but it wont log me on? 

    When I go home and log in to the machine direct it will let me on. I also tried the on screen keyboard but that didnt work.

     

  • I also cannot connect, it says the Password is invalid (After I just signed in using my Teamviewer account) and the machine that I am trying to connect to is set up for unattended access.

  • I have been encountering the same problem with the web connector. Then I try the exact same password on the chrome extension and it works. Seems to be a problem with the web connector.

    My online account will accept my password for the account but not the app on my mac book.  What is weird, is if I log into teamviewer online through a web browser and then go to connect to another device, the browswer will ask to open the app.  When I click allow, the browswer will open the app and automatically submit the password and the whole app functions find until my computer times out, then I have to go through this whole procedure again to get teamviewer app to work, which is the only way for my mac to connect to a remote computer.  

  • I just put the app on my phone and encountered the same problem..  Did you ever get an answer that works?

    I appreciate your help!!

    I have similar issue on PC as PJBaker on the Mac.

    Background ... this is a new installation of Win 10 on an older PC, thus a recent install of Teamviewer.

    ... it sounds like PJ & my experiences are consistent, but there may be other issues, ... like getting the new install of program in PC included / activated in the Teamviewer 'my computer user group' .... or perhaps a slightly different formal name (since I cant get there)

    thanks for solution(s)

    Still no resolution to the same problem. It says that the password is invalid, although we tried it three ties even updating the password.

    The 'passwort' is also invalid

    "passwort invalid - validation failed [E14]"

    I'm still having this problem a year later, and the article @Reyhan posted is a dead link. "The article has been deleted."

    So what's the RIGHT answer?
