Temporary Login Without Password
90,000+ active installs · Rated 5.0/5 · Updated October 1, 2026
Temporary Login Without Password creates a login link for a chosen WordPress role that expires after a set time, so a developer or support agent can sign in without the site owner's password. Each link can redirect to a chosen page after login, and the link can be disabled or deleted early. It suits site owners who give short-term access to outside helpers. One limit: some controls, such as login limits and custom post type redirects, need the Pro version.
Pros
- Creates temporary logins with any WordPress role
- Links expire automatically and can be disabled early
- Lets the user land on a chosen page after login
Cons
- Login limits and some redirect options need the Pro version
- Anyone holding an unexpired link can sign in, so links must be shared carefully
- Adds custom database tables for its activity data
