Creating temporary WordPress user logins Using Temporary Login Without Password plugin

Sometimes you may need to give developers, designers, or support staff access to your WordPress site without creating permanent accounts.

Why Use Temporary Logins?

• No need to share your own admin credentials.

• Automatically expires after a set time.

• Easy to revoke access at any moment.

• Ideal for troubleshooting, support, or short‑term collaboration.

Installing the Plugin

1. Log in to WordPress with an administrator account.

2. In the dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New.

3. Search for Temporary Login Without Password.

4. Click Install Now, then Activate.

✅ The plugin is now ready to use.

⚙️ Creating a Temporary Login

1. In the dashboard, go to Users → Temporary Logins.

2. Click Create New.

3. Fill in the required fields:

   • Email Address → The person who will use the login.

   • Role → Choose the appropriate role (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.).

   • Expiry Duration → Set how long the login will remain active (e.g., 1 day, 1 week).

4. Click Submit.

5. A unique login URL will be generated. Copy and share this link securely with the intended user.

✅ The user can now log in without a password until the link expires.

Managing Temporary Logins

• Go to Users → Temporary Logins to view all active temporary accounts.

• You can Revoke access at any time before expiry.

• Expired logins are automatically removed.

Important Notes

• Always assign the minimum role necessary (e.g., Editor instead of Administrator).

• Share login links securely, avoid posting them publicly.

• Use expiry settings wisely to prevent lingering access.

• Combine with other security measures (SSL, strong admin password, backups).
