The Temporary Access feature allows you to grant secure, time-limited access to your WordPress site for developers, support staff, or collaborators. Instead of sharing your primary admin credentials, you can create unique temporary accounts that automatically expire, maintaining your site’s long-term security.

To generate a new temporary login, navigate to Temporary Access > Create Access Link and fill in the following details:

temporary access
FieldDescription
EmailThe email address where the access link or notifications will be sent.
First Name / Last NameThe identifiable name for the temporary user.
UsernameA unique username for this temporary session.
RoleThe WordPress user role (e.g., Administrator, Editor) assigned to the guest.
Redirect after loginChoose where the user lands (e.g., Dashboard) immediately after using the link.
ExpirySet the lifespan of the account (e.g., One Day, One Week).
LanguageSet the preferred dashboard language for the user.

After filling in the box, press the Create temporary Login button:

A new user will be created once done. The user can now log in using a temporary link. To get the URL, the admin has to copy the link from the Action section. There’s a copy icon for the temporary link and a delete button to remove the user.
