About Authenticating to LogMeIn Host Computers

Whenever you connect to a host computer running LogMeIn, you must authenticate yourself to the host computer. Computers Requiring Authentication You must enter a Windows or Mac user name and password to access a host computer that is configured to require authentication. Most computers on a corporate network require you to authenticate: for example, upon start-up you must press Ctrl-Alt-Delete on a Windows computer and then enter your user name and password. Computers Not Requiring Authentication You must enter a Computer Access Code to access a host computer that is not configured to require authentication. For example, your home computer may not be configured to require authentication (when you start your computer, you go straight to Windows without entering a user name and password). Important: Do not lose your Computer Access Code. It cannot be retrieved!
