  • Other users of the computer cannot resume the paused session without knowing the PIN.
  • The PIN is auto-generated for every session and is shown at start up:




  • Click 'Show PIN'  in the start menu / tools box to view the number at any time.
  • See Secure virtual desktop sessions with a PIN in Virtual Desktop Settings for more details on configuring PIN protection for virtual desktop
