Remote control via One-Time password - TeamViewer Support
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><br></p><p>The One-Time password feature allows users to grant access to their devices <strong>for only one remote control session</strong>. The user granting the access generates a One-Time password that will <strong>only be valid for one incoming connection</strong>.</p><p>Once the remote control session <strong>ends</strong>, the One-Time password <strong>expires</strong>. No connection will be possible using the same password. A new One-Time password needs to be generated to start a new connection.</p><p>📌<strong>Note:</strong> The One-Time Access does not block any additional user from connecting to the target device. Users can still connect via Easy Access and personal password, even when One-Time Access is enabled.</p><div class="blockquote"><div class="blockquote-content"><p class="blockquote-line"><em>This article applies to all TeamViewer users on Windows devices.</em></p></div></div><p><br></p><h3></h3><h2 data-id="how-to-activate-the-one-time-password">How to activate the One-Time password</h2><p>To activate the One-Time password, please follow the instructions below:</p><div class="js-embed embedResponsive" data-embedjson="{"height":150,"width":200,"photoUrl":"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/FHPMhywKkF4\/hqdefault.jpg","videoID":"FHPMhywKkF4","showRelated":false,"url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FHPMhywKkF4","embedType":"youtube","name":"Grant access to your device via One-Time Access","frameSrc":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHPMhywKkF4?feature=oembed&autoplay=1"}"> <a href="https://youtu.be/FHPMhywKkF4" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"> https://youtu.be/FHPMhywKkF4 </a> </div><ol><li>Select the <strong>three dots menu (⋮).</strong></li><li>Click on <strong>Enable One-Time Access feature.</strong><ul><li>📌<strong>Note:</strong> Alternatively, you can enable the One-Time Access feature via the <strong>TeamViewer Options (⚙) </strong>under the <strong>Security </strong>menu.
