Sign out of TeamViewer Desktop after inactivity

Hi there,
I use authy to login to TeamViewer on my own desktop (using Authy as extra security). From there I connect to 4 different PCs. I often forget to sign out (or exit) TeamViewer on my desktop in spite of best intentions.
Question: Does anyone know if there is a setting which will automatically sign me out (or even exit) TeamViewer on my desktop after a period of inactivity?
Thank you
Michelle

Hello @michellepace,
Thank you for the clarification, now I get it ?
Unfortunately, there is no automatic sign-out feature implemented in TeamViewer.
The users have to sign out manually :

Hello @michellepace,
Thank you for your message and welcome in the Community! ?
You can set this up directly in the TeamViewer options of your computer.
I hope this could help. ?
If not, do not hesitate to ask your questions here. ?
Cheers,
Jean
Thank you Jean for your reply. However, this is not actually what I am after. On my PC I log into TeamViewer and I use the APP Authy. I then have access to a variety of machines. Should I leave my PC unattended, these machines then become at risk.
What I am looking for is for *me* to be logged out of TeamViewer upon XX minutes of activity such that my password and authy code would be required again. Does such a setting exist?
Thanks Jean. That is quite a big sercurity hole, but very simple to solve. Could you please suggest it as a feature request?
Even windows will "lock" after a certain amount of inactivity.
Hello @michellepace,
I checked and this function already exists for our Management Console (https://login.teamviewer.com/).
You will be automatically logged in after a certain amount of time. But not for our TeamViewer client version.
I forwarded your request to implement this for the client version as well. ?
Thanks again for the discussion - take care and stay safe! ?
Best,
Jean
