Temporary Login

Temporary Login generates secure login links that expire automatically. Grant time-limited WordPress access for support, testing, or client previews without creating permanent accounts or sharing passwords. Set expiration by time or number of uses. Links can be invalidated early if needed. Perfect for giving contractors, support agents, or clients temporary access without ongoing account management.
