Adding Temporary Login Accounts in WordPress

Generating Temporary Admin Access WordPress – The first thing you need to do is install and activate the Temporary Login Without Password plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit the Users » Temporary Logins page and click the ‘Create New’ button to add a new temporary login account.

Temporary Login Without Password

This will show a form where you can enter information for the new temporary login.

First, you need to provide an email address for the user and then their first and last name.

Next, you need to select a user role. You should do this with care. If you are unsure about which user role to assign, then take a look at our beginner’s guide to WordPress user roles and permissions.

You will also need to choose the expiry duration for this temporary account. This is the period after which the account will automatically expire.

Lastly, you can also select the language for the new user. This is the language that will be used when the user accesses the WordPress dashboard.

Once you click the ‘Submit’ button, you will see a success message and a URL that anyone can use to log in to the temporary account you just added.

Now you can click the ‘Click to Copy’ button to copy the URL and share it with anyone you want to have access.

The temporary account will automatically expire after the time period you selected.
