LogMeIn will attempt to make a connection to the host. You
will be prompted to authenticate to the host.
Tip: You can set LogMeIn to securely
save your host username and password to the client computer from which you are
connecting. This will allow you to automatically authenticate when you next
connect from the same computer.
See
How to Set Up Automatic Authentication.
Log in to the computer using the
appropriate authentication method:
If prompted,
enter the username and password you would enter if you were sitting in front of
the host computer.
If prompted,
enter the Computer Access Code you created when you installed LogMeIn to the
host computer.
Remember:Do not enter your LogMeIn ID and
password. This will result in Error 1326 or Error 5 (incorrect user name
and password).
Your session begins upon
successful authentication.
