TeamViewer has introduced a new way of connecting using session links, which offers enhanced security and convenience for remote support. However, for those who, for technical reasons, must still connect via ID and password, this option is still available.

This article applies to all TeamViewer Remote users.

We highly recommend that users transition to the new method of session links for a more secure and reliable connection.

To be able to connect, you first must get the ID and the password of the remote device.
