Choose a role, choose an expiry, copy the link. The link auto-expires (deleting the temporary account and destroying its sessions) or can be revoked instantly. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/effortless-temporary-secure-login`, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Users > Temporary Logins to create your first temporary login. ## FAQ ### Does this share my real password? No. The plugin creates a separate, disposable WordPress user account and authenticates the recipient via a secure signed link — no password is ever shared or stored in plain text. ### What happens when a temporary login expires? The account is automatically logged out, its sessions destroyed, and the underlying WordPress user account deleted. The event stays visible in the plugin’s activity log. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “EffortLess Temporary Secure Login” is open source software.
