Password for unattended access
Personal password
The personal password is a password defined by you. If you enter a password, you will be able to use that password anytime in place of the randomly generated temporary password to access this computer (unattended access).
Under Extras --> Options --> Security--> Under Personal password (for unattended access) --> Password --> Type in your password --> Confirm password Repeat your chosen password to confirm it --> click OK
The password you are choosing will never be visible to you or anybody else. Instead of the password you will see black dots.
You can remove the password by deleting the black dots.

Note: The number of black dots in the password field are not necessarily equal to the number of characters in your password.
Hint: You can save the personal password in your Computers & contacts list to make connections to your device easily.
Manage additional passwords
TeamViewer offers you the possibility to manage additional personal passwords. A typical use case could be: If you have a vendor who needs unattended access to one or some of your devices you can setup an additional unattended password to allow them to connect without using your unattended access password.
Note: Manage additional Passwords is currently only available for Windows devices
Note: You need to enter a personal password first to see the feature of managing additional passwords.
Under Extras --> Options --> Security--> Under Personal password (for unattended access) --> Click on Manage additional Passwords... --> The Password Management opens and there you can add, change or delete additional passwords
