AnyDesk provides the solution to agree upon an unattended password, so that the remote client doesn't need to be present to accept a request to enter a session.
The default setting (no password set in the security options) will not allow unattended connections to your computer. Connection requests must be accepted from the physical console of the client being controlled.In the Main Window, open the Menu and click Settings. Switch to the Security Tab:
Before changing your Security Settings, you have to confirm administrative privileges. Click Unlock Security Settings, confirm the UAC-prompt and continue in the appearing Admin settings window. All settings can now be modified.
In the Admin Settings window, a password for unattended access can be set, as well as the option to store a token for each remote client that you entered a password to.This token will enable the remote client to have his requests accepted automatically without the need of typing the unattended access password for subsequent sessions:
The Accept Window is not displayed in this mode. Set interactive access to disabled and use unattended access only to establish the session. Further limit access to the device by listing your devices in the Whitelist (See ACL)The access control list is a Whitelist that allows for exclusive access for specified IDs. This secures, that only devices that have been specified are allowed to make a session request at all. In this configurationnot even the accept window would show up if the connecting device is not on the list. 3rd party devices cannot request sessions and even if your password is compromised, only devices from your whitelist may access.
Caution:
The password should be very secure.Anyone knowing the password and your AnyDesk ID has full access to your computer.A password which exceeds at least 12 characters is highly recommended.AnyDesk also supports two-factor authentication for best security.Always double-check when a third party contacts you and demands your AnyDesk Address.We (AnyDesk Software) will never ask for your ID or password and legitimate companies will never contact you without you having initiated the communication first.In case you are seeking the help of a pc repair service, please make sure you know the vendor.We are planning a feature that will allow companies and individuals to obtain a signed certificate to prove their identity.
After requesting session, the password dialog appears.
Check Login automatically from now on and enter the password. You will not be asked to enter this password in subequent session requests for this client.
