A TeamViewer account will be blocked whenever no password has been set. This may happen if an error occurs during the account generation process. This may also happen if you add too many devices to your TeamViewer account without confirming them as trusted first. Another possibility is that we have reason to believe your security may be impacted and thus enforced a password reset to protect your digital integrity.

Are there any external data spills that may represent a risk for the use of my TeamViewer account?

Online account credentials are traded on the Dark Web (Yahoo is the latest example). External data spills may represent a risk for you if you reused your account credentials.

What are potential threat scenarios that may arise from a data spill elsewhere?

If cyber criminals manage to get their hands on your email account credentials, they may certainly gain access to your email account. Subsequently, they may run a variety of different malignant scenarios, which are not restricted to the affected email account.

It’s important to be aware that a third party password spill could impact TeamViewer users. A hacker may for instance use an email address to set up a TeamViewer account in order to abuse it for criminal intent. In this instance, a confirmation message including an activation link is sent to that particular email account.

If the criminal has access to your email account it means that they can activate the TeamViewer account and use it in your name. It is possible for hackers to do this without your knowledge as they sometimes apply very intricate tactics to veil their doings.

Has TeamViewer been compromised in any way?

Can I do more to add security to my TeamViewer account?

To protect against unauthorized access, we recommend to. Additionally, you might want to consider to set up whitelist on your device: The TeamViewer whitelists are a very effective means to determine who can access your machine. In other words: you set up a list and only the parties on that list can access your device. We also recommend to never reuse or share passwords, change passwords regularly, and use password managers.

Are there any supplementary steps I should take?

Email accounts are a common vector to inflict breaches upon you and your cyber integrity. Therefore, we encourage you to quickly change the password to your email account, and make sure it will not be controlled by an unauthorized party. If you use the same password across other services, we recommend that you also change those passwords immediately. Here are some practical suggestions on how to.

What should I do if I believe my TeamViewer account has been abused?

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to and submit a ticket. Due to data security regulations any inquiry regarding accounts must be sent from the e-mail address the account is linked to. TeamViewer is subject to extremely strict data privacy laws and regulations. So if you have reason to believe you were the victim of a crime we encourage you to report your case to your local police department.

Each time you start, TeamViewer, for security purposes, generates a new temporary password for remote control. This password is quite inconvenient to use if only you control it and quite often, since every time you restart the computer you have to remember a new one. For such cases, TeamViewer has implemented an uncontrolled access function, which allows you to set an additional permanent password that is known only to you and does not change across reboots.

You can set a personal password by clicking on the "Connection" menu and selecting "Configure" uncontrolled access"or by clicking on the personal password entry area in the program interface.

In the uncontrolled access settings window that opens, click “Next”.

Now, you need to enter your personal password twice to access TeamViewer remotely. Remember, the password should not be light so that attackers do not gain access to your computer.

The last step will ask you to create or join an existing account by entering your email and password, you can also refuse to create an account by selecting the appropriate item.

How to set up TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a convenient tool for those cases when you need to remotely connect to your home or work computer or remotely help a friend. In general, there can be many different reasons. Particularly pleasing is the fact that there are no problems with the firewall. You can always easily connect to the required computer and the security system is not an obstacle. In order to use TeamViewer, of course, you need to download it. Downloading must be done only from the official website. There are several reasons for this. The main reason is the possibility of downloading virus software. The program is paid and most people spare money to buy it, but the stingy one pays twice. Downloading from torrents is a big risk. If you need TeamViewer not for work (administrating your organization’s computers, server maintenance, etc.), that is, you will use it for non-commercial purposes, then you can download it for free.

What not to do when using the program non-commercially:

1. Connect to home computer from the worker.

2. Connect from home to an office PC.

If you do not strictly follow these simple restrictions, then there is a chance that the program will detect commercial use and will impose a number of restrictions on use.

How to install TeamViewer 9?

Download the software from the resource “teamviewer.com/ru/” and run the file. The following will appear on the monitor screen:

Select Personal/Non-Commercial Use. Click “Accept – Complete”. You will have to wait a while until the installation completes.

After the installation is complete, a special window will appear on the screen, which allows you to familiarize yourself with tips on using the program.

Ignore the window and close it by clicking on the button at the bottom right. Next, TeamViewer will launch. Now you can work.

Setting up and using TeamViewer!

You can only connect to computers that also have TeamViewer installed. This can be done immediately after its launch. The required data is a password and a unique computer number (ID) with which the connection is established. They can be viewed on the left side of the main program window.

To establish a connection to your PC, tell your partner your password and ID.

When connecting to a computer located at home using TeamViewer, you need a “personal password”, which will be discussed below.

For now, let's consider the option of connecting your computer to someone else's, for example, to a friend. As soon as he tells you the password and ID of his machine. Enter the data in the field called “Partner ID”.

Click "Connect to partner". A few seconds will pass and a window will appear in which you enter the password.

Enter your password and click on the “Login” button. Now you are taken to the remote PC.

The screenshot shows that a connection was made to a computer with an operating system Windows system XP.

What actions can you perform on a remote computer?

You can work as on your personal PC. Sometimes, of course, there are restrictions set on the remote machine. It depends on the program settings.

The absence of wallpaper on the desktop of the remote computer is immediately noticeable. TeamViewer disables wallpaper by default. If you make changes to the settings, the wallpaper will be saved. Go to settings and select “View” from the menu at the top.

You need to select “Hide Wallpaper” from the list. Now the wallpaper is in place on the remote computer.

Another one useful setting TeamViewer allows you to reboot a remote machine. Moreover, after switching on, you can continue working further. It is very comfortable. When setting up your PC, you may need to restart it several times. For example, after making a change in the msconfig utility, you can remotely reboot the machine and continue configuring it.

To reboot, go to the menu and select the “Actions” tab, then “Remote reboot” and then “Reboot”.

When the remote reboot of the PC begins, you will need to choose from two actions.

Click the “Reconnect” button. The connection to the remote machine was established, and no password was required.

There is a safe reboot option. To do this, follow the steps described just above, just select the “Reboot to safe mode" This option gives you access to your computer in safe mode.

You can also use the following options:

Blocking the input means of the remote PC

This allows you to deprive the owner of a computer connected remotely from the ability to perform any actions on his PC. It is completely locked for the owner. You can perform any manipulation and the owner of the computer will not be able to do anything. He will only have to sit and watch your work.

Enable PC lock

A very convenient feature when connecting to a home computer. When you finish work, you can log out of the system in such a way that no one can use the machine under your account.

Launch Task Manager

It can be done from the same tab by sending a request. You can also enable the ability to send keyboard shortcuts to a PC connected remotely.

Ability to transfer files to TeamViewer

This opportunity is very important. Let's take a closer look. The file transfer window opens from the top panel in the “file transfer” tab.

In the window that opens, on the left are the files available on the local PC, that is, on your computer, and on the right is the dialog of the remote computer. It is possible to send and receive files from a remote computer. This can be done in two ways, namely, by dragging with the mouse or clicking the buttons at the top “Receive” or “Send”. It's pretty easy. The following actions are available in file transfer mode:

The screenshot shows that the log shows everything that happens in this mode:

This file transfer technology is extremely simple, and there is nothing more to add here.

How to connect to your home computer using TeamViewer

At first glance, there are no difficulties here. You can launch the program and go about your business, and, if necessary, connect from anywhere to your home PC.

This method is correct, but very convenient, since you will have to constantly launch TeamViewer and keep the password in memory.

The best option is to set up TeamViewer with a permanent password to access your home PC. This will eliminate the hassle of remembering your password. In addition, after setting a permanent password, the program will be minimized to the system tray. Which you agree is very convenient.

Go to the menu of the main TeamViewer window and select “Connection” and “Set up uncontrolled access”. This will open the setup wizard.

Read the description, and then click “Next”.

Be sure to complete all fields at this stage. You don’t have to change anything in the “computer name” field, or you can put “Name”. In the “password” field you need to enter a strong password that you have created, consisting of at least six characters.

No need to register. Just check the box next to “I don’t want to create an account...” and click “Next”.

When completing the permanent password setup step, be sure to remember or write down your password and unique ID.

As soon as you have completed all the manipulations in the settings, TeamViewer, when you click on the cross, will no longer turn off, but will be minimized in the tray while waiting for a connection.

Do not confuse a permanent password with an automatically generated one.

The permanent password must be strictly confidential information the same as from a webmoney account or Email. You should use this password when you specifically need to connect to your PC. If you need to allow guest access to another person, then give him the password generated by the program. When the session ends, generate a new one.

The job is complete and you can connect with your unique password to your computer. The main thing is to remember your ID.

Conclusion

Key points on the operation of the TeamViewer program are discussed. After reading the article, you will easily set it up and be able to use it at a basic level. Use virtual machine to understand how the program works if it is not possible to try it in action.

TeamViewer is one of the best programs to set up remote access between computers. Its main advantages include simplicity and accessibility. The connection is established in literally two steps: first you need to specify the partner ID, and then the password. And there are some nuances here, which will be discussed below.

As you can easily notice, every time the program is launched, it generates New Password to access your computer. On the one hand, this increases security, because old combinations become inactive. On the other hand, this creates difficulties when regularly using the program on several PCs.

Is there a way to configure TeamViewer so that the password does not change? The answer to this question will be positive. The article will consider the most convenient way for ordinary users.

Setting up the program

First you need to change the Timweaver settings on the computer to which you will connect. Launch the remote access program on it. It is not necessary to log into your account. Open in the tools menu "Connection".Next, select “Set up uncontrolled access...”. In the pop-up menu, click "Continue". Set a permanent password for TeamViewer, re-enter it and click LMB on the continue button.
Confirm the action in the window that appears. Now the program will prompt you to link an existing account to this computer or create a new one. You can skip this step; it is not required. To do this, select the option "I don't want to create..." and click "Continue".
Finally, you will be shown the ID of the current PC, which is necessary to access it. Just click "Complete".

Connection

With how to set a permanent password in TeamViewer, everything became obvious. All that remains is to deal directly with the procedure for connecting to remote computer. First you need to install and run the program for the main PC. Pay attention to the block "Manage your computer". In field « Partner ID" you need to enter the identification number that was displayed in the previous step.
Next, you need to specify a fixed password and click "Login". Remote access on this can be considered fully configured.

Important: You do not need to have TeamViewer running on your computer to be able to connect to it. There is a special service for remote access.

You must create an account. You can enter it by entering your email address and password. It is quite difficult to forget your own e-mail, which cannot be said about the access code.

Sometimes users confuse it with other authorization data. If you are unable to log into TeamViewer, the authorization procedure will always help. And in some situations a password change is required.

If a TeamViewer user has forgotten his account password, then he has nothing to worry about. The program developers have provided a recovery function. But to use it you need access to the account linked email address. The situation is similar with changing the secret combination.

Changing the secret combination

Regular editing secret code significantly increases account security. First, let's look at this action. It can be done in two ways: through the official website or in Teamweaver itself.

Editing on the official website:

There is also a way to change the password in TeamViewer directly in the program. To do this you need to take the following steps:
