How to enable Unattended Access in anydesk, debian 10, openbox, lightdm

Question

Regarding https://support.anydesk.com/Command_Line_Interface#Setting_a_Password

I login

$ su -

and do

# echo my_new_password | anydesk.exe --set-password

after that I exit/login to standard user and start

$ anydesk

But I still need client accepts (now password request from remote)

Answer 1

I think you should remove .exe and use sudo (tested at least on ubuntu 20.04)

# echo my-new-password | sudo anydesk --set-password

Answer 2

One possible reason is that the password is too weak. In this case, AnyDesk rejects your password without prompting any warning. So the password is still not set, therefore the unattended access is still disabled.
