What is the RustDesk permanent password?

The permanent password allows you to establish a remote connection to a computer without any intervention from the remote user.

Unlike the temporary password automatically generated by RustDesk, the permanent password:

• remains the same over time
• enables automated remote control
• facilitates administrative interventions
• is suited for professional environments

How to enable the permanent password?

In the RustDesk Settings window:

1. Check "Enable permanent password"
2. Enter a password that complies with the security rules
3. Click OK

The status "Valid password" confirms that the password meets the required criteria.

What are the password security rules?

The password must contain:

• Minimum 6 characters
• At least 1 letter (A–Z)
• At least 1 digit (0–9)
• At least 1 special character (e.g.: ! @ # $ %)

If a rule is not met, the password will be rejected.

What is the purpose of the "Generate" button?

The Generate button automatically creates a secure password that complies with all rules.

This helps to:

• avoid input errors
• ensure a sufficient level of security
• standardize deployments

How is the password applied to the remote computer?

When you start a remote control session via IDEAL REMOTE:

If the following option is checked:

Automatically configure a RustDesk permanent password

IDEAL REMOTE:

1. Installs RustDesk if necessary
2. Configures the defined permanent password
3. Applies the security settings
4. Can restrict usage to administrators only

All of this without an agent and remotely.

Is the password changed at each connection?

No, except if:

• you manually change the password
• you force a new configuration
• RustDesk is reinstalled
• you choose a complete uninstallation

Otherwise, the password remains unchanged.
