Use a personal password to create an extra layer of security for a remote host computer. A personal password does not replace either an access code or a user password.

1. Access the host preferences:
   • From the remote host computer, open the LogMeIn Control Panel and follow this path: Options > Preferences > Security
     To open the LogMeIn Control Panel, open your computer's toolbar at the bottom of your screen and select the LogMeIn icon. Then select LogMeIn Control Panel
     
   • From a client device (such as the logmein.com website, or the desktop client app), connect to the remote host's Main Menu and follow this path: Preferences > Security
2. Under Personal Password, enter your personal password and then enter it again to confirm.
   Tip: The personal password must be at least 6 but no longer than 15 characters and can only contain the Latin characters A-Z, a-z; and numbers 0-9.
3. Select OK or Apply.

   Result: Your settings are applied immediately to the host.

Results: When you next connect to this computer from this account you will be prompted to enter a subset of characters from the Personal Password before being granted access. Upon entering the correct characters (for example, the first, the fourth and the seventh) you are granted access.
