# Sending Windows credentials to TeamViewer

Many users have requested the ability to automate the login process on a Windows system through TeamViewer.

Since we are not able to send the password automatically inside the TeamViewer session, you would need to accomplish this with a typing macro.

1. Open Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Add a new entry and select ***Typing Macro*** under ***Macro/Script/Tool***.
3. Enter ***$USERNAME${TAB}$PASSWORD${TAB}{ENTER}*** in the general field of the typing macro.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>Please note that the <em><strong>initial wait</strong></em> has been configured to 5 seconds, this varies depending on each user system.</p></div>
4. Click ***Add*** to save.

5. Open your ***Credential Management entry***.

You can create a ***Credential Management entry*** in Remote Desktop Manager by clicking ***Add a new entry – Credential Management*** and selecting ***Username / Password***.

6. Go the properties of your Credential entry and enable ***Allow password in variable*** under ***Security Settings***.
7. Click ***Update*** to save.

### Devolutions Server and Devolutions Cloud

If you have an Devolutions Server or Devolutions Clou&#x64;***,*** you will need to enable ***Allow password variable in macros***.

1. Go to ***Administration – System Settings*** in the ribbon of Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Select ***Password management – Password policy – Allow password variable in macros***.

The next step happens when the TeamViewer session is open and credentials are ready to be entered.

3. Right-click on your credential entry and select ***Macros/Scripts/Tools - Send credentials*** (or the name you gave your entry).

In conclusion, put the mouse cursor in the appropriate login field and the typing macro will do the rest.

### ID entered instead of credentials in the TeamViewer entry

If you have entered an ID instead of credentials in the TeamViewer entry, a ***$TOOL\_PASSWORD$*** variable is required.

1. Open Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Add a new entry and select ***Typing Macro*** under ***Macro/Script/Tool***.
3. Enter ***$TOOL\_PASSWORD${TAB}{ENTER}*** in the general field of the typing macro.
4. Click ***Add*** to save.

5. Go to the properties on your TeamViewer entry and select ***Events – After Open***.
6. Execute a macro automatically by either writing the macro or linking to a macro entry.
7. Click ***Update***.

The entry where the ***$TOOL\_PASSWORD$*** macro fetch the credentials must be linked.

8. Edit your TeamViewer entry and go to ***Management Tools***.
9. Select ***Linked (vault)*** and your entry in the ***Credentials*** drop-down menus.
10. Click ***Update*** to save.
