Description
This plugin allows you to quickly swap between user accounts in WordPress at the click of a button. You’ll be instantly logged out and logged in as your desired user. This is handy for test environments where you regularly log out and in between different accounts, or for adminstrators of sites who need to switch between multiple accounts.
Features
- Switch users: Instantly switch to any user account from the Users screen.
- Switch back: Instantly switch back to your originating account.
- Switch off: Log out of your account but retain the ability to instantly switch back in again.
- It’s completely secure (see the Security section below).
- Compatible with WordPress, WordPress Multisite, BuddyPress and WordPress MU.
Security
- Only users with the ability to edit other users can switch user accounts (by default this is only Administrators). Lower level users cannot switch accounts.
- User switching is protected with the WordPress nonce security system, meaning only those who are allowed to switch users can switch.
- Full support for administration over SSL (if applicable).
- Passwords are not (and cannot be) revealed.
