The random password is one of two options for attended access via password. The second option is to grant access to your device via One-Time Access.
The random password is shown on the Remote Control tab of your TeamViewer (Classic) application by default.
This article applies to all TeamViewer (Classic) users.
If you give your TeamViewer ID and a random password, this person can connect to your device.
As soon as the random password changes, the person can no longer access your device until you give him the newly generated password or a One-Time Password.
💡Hint: Only allow persons you trust to remote control your device. Never give people you do not know or trust your TeamViewer ID or password. We advise TeamViewer users to be careful with unsolicited phone calls and not to grant access to their PC to anyone they do not know or trust.
Please set up an Allow List to further limit access to your TeamViewer.
