To provide or update credentials at the remote end:
- In the Unattended app, click Provide/Update credentials.
- Enter the correct credentials and click OK.
The remote user can remove saved credentials for automatic sign-in at any point by simply clicking Remove credentials.
Reset connection
The Unattended app may get stuck on Connecting due to internet connection issues or network configuration changes.
In this case, the remote user can manually reset the connection to SetMe's unattended server by clicking Reset connection.
