How to use the reduced session of LogMeIn on Chromebook?

After recent Chromebook update, you may find you cannot start a reduced session of LogMeIn to access your remote machine. Because it might keep asking you the password when clicking Remote Control.

Many people encountered this problem and discussed this at the LogMeIn community.
So, how to fix this? Actually it's simple.

After you log in LogMeIn and click the link of your remote machine, you should notice the link of your remote machine as below. Please check it from the Address bar on your browser.

https://[YOUR_REMOTE_MACHINE-xxxxxxxxxx].appxx-xx.logmein.com/main.html

Just copy and change it to 

https://[YOUR_REMOTE_MACHINE-xxxxxxxxxx].app00-00.logmein.com/remctrl.html?type=flash

Then you should be able to access your remote machine via LogMeIn reduced session.

Enjoy!

Yeah, whatever. Fuck Logmein and the isp they rode in on.

Lesson: Be honest with your customers.
Citrix and teamviewer despite the platform independence issue are better.

VNC is always worth the port trouble.

I'm done with the 20 client licences I bought last year and dumped them for VNC and chrome remote.

Seriously bad direction.
