Change your forgotten access code
You can easily create a new access code to connect to your Windows or Mac host computer.
Your access code resides only on your host computer, and it is never transmitted over the Internet. It is a critical component in the encryption key that is used to keep your host computer secure. For security reasons, GoToMyPC does not have a record of your access code and has no way to provide it to you if you forget it while traveling. Since it cannot be emailed, you must be physically present at the host computer to create a new access code.
If you forgot your access code, you need to be at the host computer to change it and use the new code to connect. If you need further assistance, make sure you're at the host computer before contacting Customer Care.

Make GoToMyPC remember your Access Code
The "Don't ask access code again" option in the Enter Access Code window saves your access code in an encrypted form. When you run the next session, GoToMyPC does not ask for the access code again. The function manages expired and changed access codes as well. For security reasons, you can only trust your device if you are required to enter a password at sign-in.
