MAGIC LOGIN
WordPress Magic Login, One Click to wp-admin
WordPress magic login on xCloud signs you in to wp-admin from your dashboard, with no password to look up. Each sign-in link works once and expires after 10 minutes. It suits agencies and anyone with many sites, and it is free on every plan.
- One click from the site list or site page
- Choose which WordPress user to sign in as
- Turn it off for all sites on a server
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Use WordPress Magic Login?
Keeping track of a WordPress password for every site is slow, and shared passwords get reused.
Faster site work
Go from your site list to wp-admin without a password manager or a reset email.
No shared passwords
Team members with permission sign in without being told an admin password.
Short-lived links
A link works once and expires after 10 minutes, so an old link is useless.
