Good afternoon! I haven't used TeamViewer for a long time and forgot my password. How do I recover it?

You can change your password if you still have access to the email address associated you’re your TeamViewer account. Recovery requests are sent through the program or from the official TeamViewer website.

To request a password reset from the program, launch TeamViewer, open the “Computers & Contacts” tab and click “Forgot password”.

To request a reset from the site, go to teamviewer.com, hover your mouse over a person icon in the upper left corner, and select “Management console”.

When in the management console, click “Forgot password”. Direct link to that page: https://login.teamviewer.com/LogOn#lost-password

Anyhow, you’re going to be asked to enter the email address associated with your TeamViewer account. Then go to your inbox, open the last email from TeamViewer and to confirm your request to reset the password.

Come up with a new password, enter it twice in the “Reset password” block, click “OK”. As soon as the message “Password has been successfully changed” appears on the screen, you can open the program and log into your account with a new password.
