Security

Parallels Access connects to your computer securely using state-of-the-art technology, including SSL and 256-bit AES encryption.

Also, if you're concerned about someone accessing your computer or seeing what you're doing while you're using Parallels Access remotely, you can adjust security settings accordingly.

To access security settings, on your computer click the Parallels Access icon Menu in the menu bar or task bar and choose Preferences. Then click Advanced and do one of the following:

  • Set Parallels Access to require that you enter your computer's user name and password each time you connect: Select Ask for my user name and password as well.
  • Set your computer screen to be locked when you're using Parallels Access: Select Lock this computer when working remotely.

    While your screen is locked, people near your computer can't see what you're doing, and your password is required to access your computer.

  • Set your computer screen to lock when Parallels Access disconnects: Select Lock this computer once you finish working remotely.

    Once you're finished working, your password is required to access your computer locally.
