Click "Mount" in the toolbar (if you only see "Unmount", it is already mounted and you don't need to do anything). For Macs running Catalina, look for the name that does not end in "- Data". To delete the authorization database, your Mac's hard disk needs to be mounted and you will need to know its name (usually something like "Macintosh HD" or "macOS").Ģ) Open Disk Utility and check the left sidebar for the name of your disk. Once your Mac has booted into macOS Recovery, you should see a window titled "macOS Utilities". Your Mac re-creates a missing database during the next startup (using some default settings that are fine for most users).ġ) Start your Mac in macOS Recovery by holding down Cmd-R until the Apple logo appears. If you do not have the possibility to restore the plugin by Installing TeamViewer on another Mac and copying the authorisation file into the correct path through Terminal in macOS Recovery, you may instead be able to delete your Mac's authorization database. The way you have moved the TeamViewer application files and configuration files does not properly de-register the authorization plugin. This makes sure that the plugin is properly de-registered before deletion.

It is recommended to uninstall it through the above process. This issue can be caused by deleting an authorization plugin on macOS (in this case, TeamViewerAuthPlugin.bundle) without de-registering it first. The recommended method to uninstall it is:ġ) Open the TeamViewer app and click the TeamViewer menu in the top-left corner, then click Preferences.ģ) Scroll down to the very bottom and check Also delete configuration files I would like to let you know that you are not supposed to Uninstall TeamViewer like that.

I understand that you have moved/deleted all the TeamViewer Application and system files by moving them to thrash and force-shutdown the computer and not able to boot it up again and getting an error saying "SecurityAgent was unable to create requested mechanism TeamViewerAuthPlugin:start."
