About
Give developers or support staff temporary admin access to your WordPress site — no username, no password, and it expires automatically.
Security History
What It Does
Temporary Login Without Password lets you generate self-expiring admin or editor accounts that sign in through a direct magic link, bypassing the usual username and password workflow. Each link carries an expiration date and role, so contractors, developers, or guest contributors get exactly the access they need for a defined window without you having to manage credentials.
Who It's For
This is a strong fit for WordPress agencies, freelancers, and in-house teams who routinely hand site access to outside help and need a clean way to revoke it later. It is also useful for support providers who troubleshoot client sites and want to avoid creating permanent user accounts that linger after the engagement ends.
Who Should Skip It
If you run a single personal blog or a small site where you are the only person logging in, this plugin solves a problem you do not have. Likewise, if you already use a full identity platform like SSO or a managed staging workflow, the magic-link approach adds little value over your existing process.
The Bottom Line
Temporary Login Without Password earns an 80.02/100 quality score and delivers a focused, well-maintained solution for a real workflow problem. The near-perfect rating and 100,000 installs give it strong credibility, while the complete absence of public support threads is the one soft spot. For agencies and teams that frequently issue and revoke outside access, it is a sensible default choice.
