Hi
OK, noted. Can I make a suggestion then. Let the Host have the option to bypass the 2FA when a local or perhaps a range of known IP's access the server.
The 2FA is good to stop the unwanted logins but its also a PITB when you want to log in locally.
Thanks

Hi
I have the very latest RU Viewer and Hosting installed and that is working well. I liked the idea of 2FA and so enabled that, which is also working well.
I use RU simply because I have a headless PC that I use for media sharing and can now access it from my laptop or main PC which is great. I take my PC out with me and so that's the reason for addeding 2FA.
My 'problem' is that when I am at home, I still need to enter a 2FA key and so would like to know if it is possible for the app to tell when on a local LAN and if so, bypass the 2FA requirement. This then gives the best of both, easy access when local and 2FA when 'Out and about'.
TIA

Ah, I see what you mean now, not one of the 'user login passwords' but the main security password. I now have it working, thanks!Anton Kalugin wrote:

Even more confused now!!! I enter the Partner ID and then I click 'Connect' it asks me for a Password! What do I enter there?Anton Kalugin wrote:
Hello Paul,
Thank you for your message.
Authorization means Password. Right now mobile viewer does not suppot User/Password type of authoruzation. Only password is supported right now.
You can set up that password on Host if you right-click on the Host icon in the system tray -> settings for Host -> Settings for host -> Security -> Change password.
Looking forward to your reply.
Cheers

I have the Android version installed and have correctly entered the Partner ID but it then asks me for Authorization! What is Authorization on Android?
I have tried the user name and password that I use (and that I can log in with) on Windows but I can't see anywhere where I can add/edit one for the Android authorisation.
TIA
