Passwordless Logins

Passwordless Logins in Jump Desktop

Passwordless logins simplify remote access by allowing users to connect to a machine without entering a password. However, this feature is disabled by default and should be used with caution to maintain security.

Availability

Passwordless logins are exclusively available for Jump Desktop Teams users. To enable this feature:

1. Navigate to Connect Settings in your Jump Desktop Teams dashboard.
2. Configure the desired passwordless login setting.
3. Assign these settings to the machines where you want to enable passwordless logins.

Note: Passwordless logins require Jump Desktop 9.x or later on both Windows and macOS.

Passwordless Login Settings

There are three settings available for passwordless logins:

1. Not Allowed (Default)

• Passwordless logins are completely disabled. Users must always enter their Windows or Mac credentials when connecting to a machine.

2. Only When No One Is Logged In

• Passwordless logins are allowed only if there are no users physically signed into the host machine. If Jump Desktop Connect detects that a user is signed into the machine, it automatically switches to the "Not Allowed" behavior, requiring credentials for access.

3. Always Allowed

• Passwordless logins are always enabled. Users connecting to the machine will not be prompted for Windows or Mac credentials and will directly access the console session of the machine. Important: Use this setting with extreme caution as it bypasses standard credential checks.
