Service Desk Web Portal – February 13, 2025
- Malware Scanner. GoToAssist Service Desk now scans all incoming email attachments for malware and viruses before creating an incident. If the antivirus scanner detects any virus-infected attachments, an email is sent to the account admin. In such instances, agents and customers are restricted from opening the attachment, unless the agent acknowledges the warning, and manually marks the file as safe in the Edit section. Agents can also delete these attachments. If the agent does not delete the file or mark it as safe within 14 days of receipt, the infected attachment is automatically deleted.
Service Desk Web Portal – April 13, 2023
- Export Incident Task Report. Admins can now export their Incidents Task Reportwith the date range of their choice within their ’Account Wide Settings” menu. The export’s date range by default is set to the past 10 years, but this can be modified. Once the date range is set and submitted, the Incident Task Report in CSV format will be sent to the email address of the requester.
Service Desk Web Portal – May 25, 2022
- Perform Account Synchronization. Admins can now manually synchronize their account service data to ensure the latest changes have been sent to the GoToAssist Service Desk system.
- Transfer Incidents. Admins can move all incidents from one agent (the "source user") to another agent (the "destination user").
Note: The destination user must be assigned to all services that are assigned to the source user so that the transferred incidents can be displayed in the destination user's Dashboard.
Service Desk Web Portal – March 17, 2022
- Perform Mass Asignment of Customer Portal Access. Admins can now mass assign various customer portal access levels to their customers, either by selecting individual customers or assigning one access level to all customers. Additionally, they can choose to send out an email invitation, which will notify new customers to activate their new account for the Customer Portal. Previously, admins could only change the customer portal access level individually per customer record.
Note: The customers that are selected for mass assignment must have valid customer records; they must be assigned with the required dependent records before performing this mass action, otherwise they will not be updated.
- Perform Full Account Reset. Admins now see a new Full SD Reset setting on the "Labs" tab within their Account Wide-Settings, where they can delete all of their account data and start over.
Warning: This action cannot be undone – be absolutely sure you want to delete your account information before selecting Save for this setting.

- Add all users or customers to services
- Add all services to users or customers
- Unarchive incidents
- Delete all your customers and/or companies

Profile Management Portal (v1.15.5) & Login Service – September 17, 2021
New!
- Support for Multifactor Authentication
- Users now have the ability to set up multifactor authentication as an added layer of security when signing in to their GoTo account. Users can begin the enrollment process and manage their paired mobile devices within the "Enhanced Security" section on the Sign In & Security page at https://profile.logmeininc.com/signin-security. Once set up, the user will be prompted to enter a code from their authenticator app in order to access their GoTo product account going forward.
-
Note: If a user pairs their mobile device but disables the Enhanced Security setting, the user may still be prompted to verify their login via the paired multifactor authentication device (which is done via email verification when no device is paired) for security purposes when they sign in to their account.
-
Previously, multifactor authentication was only supported for GoToAssist Remote Support (v4 and v5) users. These existing users (who have already paired a mobile device with their account) will not be impacted by these changes, and their paired mobile devices will automatically be recognized and listed within the Sign In & Security page, now under the "Enhanced Security" section. However, those GoToAssist Remote Support users will still need to enable the Enhanced Security setting, which will improve their login security by leveraging multiple factor and risk-based scores.
