Set up unattended access - TeamViewer Support
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>Even though we walked through the <strong>Six Golden Security Rules</strong> in the chapter before that already discussed secure unattended access, we´d like to focus on it once more to have a proper starting point for you:</p><p><br></p><h3></h3><h2 data-id="general">General</h2><p>If you plan to use unattended access for TeamViewer, you have to think about security, as your devices will be accessible all the time.</p><p>Please follow the instructions below to make sure your host is protected from unauthorized access at any time.</p><p><br></p><h3 data-id="-1"></h3><h2 data-id="disable-random-passwords">Disable random passwords</h2><p>The first and most important step to secure unattended access is to disable the random password within the TeamViewer settings under <strong>Options > Security > Random password (for spontaneous access)</strong>.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/SH44D4G0PTKA/image.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/SH44D4G0PTKA/image.png" alt="image.png" height="489" width="717" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p><br></p><h3 data-id="-2"></h3><h2 data-id="disable-(all)-personal-password(s)">Disable (all) personal password(s)</h2><p>This step is optional and is only recommended if the host is assigned to a TeamViewer account.</p><p>If you want to disable your personal password, please make sure to delete additional passwords as well. You are able to delete the "main" personal password and any additional passwords under <strong>Options > Advanced > Personal password</strong>.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/10Y6UNGFOKLH/image.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/10Y6UNGFOKLH/image.png" alt="image.png" height="489" width="717" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p><br></p><h3 data-id="-3"></h3><h2 data-id="grant-easy-access-for-your-account">Grant Easy Access for your account</h2><p>This step in conjunction with the above steps makes unattended access most secure.</p><p>First, you need to assign the computer to your TeamViewer account. You do so under <strong>Options > General > Account assignment</strong>. Enter your account credentials in the appearing dialogue.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/3LXFNZBDJ0ZK/image.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/3LXFNZBDJ0ZK/image.png" alt="image.png" height="489" width="717" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p>Afterwards, activate the checkbox <strong>Grant <YourAccountName> easy access</strong> under <strong>Options > Security > Unattended access</strong>.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/MX7MDG65BX1R/image.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/MX7MDG65BX1R/image.png" alt="image.png" height="489" width="717" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p>Now you can access this host without a password through your account. If you have followed the described steps, it is impossible to access this host using a TeamViewer ID and Password. Access is only possible via the account, the host is assigned to. Additionally, devices with easy access can be shared with other users without the need for providing credentials in order to establish a remote session.
