Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Temporary Login Without Password

No. TLWP generates a unique login link. The person you share it with clicks the link and is logged in automatically — there's no username or password involved at any point, so there's nothing for them to forget or for you to reset later.

Yes. Go to Temporary Login in your dashboard and click Deactivate next to the user. This revokes access immediately, but keeps their activity log so you can review what they did. You can reactivate the same account later if needed.

Yes. Deleting a temporary user removes their login access and account. If you want a record of what they accessed before removing them, review the activity log first, since deleting the user also removes their history.

No. Temporary accounts can only be accessed through the generated link. This is intentional — it's what keeps the access self-expiring and prevents the credentials from being reused or shared outside the link.

Not directly within the plugin at this time. If you need someone to have permanent access, create a regular WordPress user account for them separately and deactivate the temporary one.

Yes. When creating the temporary login, you can set a preferred language for that account. This is useful when a support person or developer doesn't speak your site's default language — they'll see the admin dashboard in their own language.

Not from the settings screen directly, but you can set it in minutes using a WordPress filter. See the community thread for the exact filter and code snippet.

No. Temporary users are restricted from deleting other users, including other admins, regardless of the role you assign them. This keeps a temporary admin account from being used to lock you out of your own site.

You can select a redirect page while creating the temporary login, or use the redirect_to query parameter in the link itself. See this thread for examples.

Yes, technically any email works. But we recommend using the real email address of the person you're granting access to — it makes it easier to track their activity and confirms the link reaches the right person.
