#ANYDESK LOGIN WITHOUT ACCEPT PASSWORD#
Or a low-skilled user phones and asks me to share their screen to explain something - and the first thing that happens is the screen locks up on them, and they sometimes have to go and find someone who knows the username and password to pass on to me.Īlso, AnyDesk and Splashtop (and TV?) will both establish a connection to the current screen - there is no need to know the local user's log-in, so it is not a Windows OS restriction. Often people leave their machine unlocked for me (it would be in a secure office) and they ask me to do something out-of-hours for them - but I can't (unless they tell me their login details). That is an additional security level that is under their control. If they are not at their machine and it is locked then of course I would need their log-in details to be able to access it fully. I would have thought it is more than sufficiently secure for the remote machine-owner to set a CRA custom password and let me know what it is. Even from an administration point of view I would have to keep records of the details for each machine.

The only way I can get access would be for them to tell me their username and password - and I don't want to know that. When I need unattended access to someone's machine, then by definition they are not there. When I first read the documentation I assumed that the custom password setting was going to be authentication enough, and I've just spent 4 hours testing and reading, and everywhere tells me this is the requirement, and adds '.for security reasons', and '.it is a limitation of the Windows OS'.

Every time I log on to an Unattended Access session I am asked for the local machine's User name and Password.
#ANYDESK LOGIN WITHOUT ACCEPT SOFTWARE#
I have installed the CRA software to two test PCs to see if it can replace AnyDesk for me.
