Team Viewer Getting Stuck at "Authenticating..."
I am trying to connect to a remote computer for file transfer. When I try to connect, the status gets stuck at "Authenticating..." for about 5-10 minutes. Sometimes, after this prologed wait, I get a message reading, "The password you have entered is invalid, please try again." I have tried logging on to the same remote computer with two of my systems, one on Mac and one on Windows 7 but getting the same problem. Mysteriously, on one occasion, I was able to connect to the same remote computer by cancelling passwordd promt. It seems like a bug to me. Details below are provided for the Windows 7 version of Team viewer: My Team Viewer Version: 12.0.82216 OS: Windows 7

Is the remote computer set to confirm connections? You may be stuck at authentication because there is a prompt on the remote computer waiting for approval.
Options > Advanced > Access Control
Access ControlMay also want to confirm there aren't any settings under white and black list that may be giving you problems.
I don't work for TeamViewer. I'm just a user.1 -
