WPAutoLogin

This plugin allows admininstators to generate autologin links for their 
WordPress website, logging in visitors under a certain user name. Administrators 
can edit (generate and delete) autologin links for users, users can only view 
their autologin links. Note that This plugin bypasses the standard 
authentication method of wordpress via login and password and should only be 
used if you understand the security issues mentioned below and on the 
<a href="http://www.craftware.nl/wordpress-autologin/" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin website</a>.
Usage
Once this plugin is activated, administrators can generate autologin links on 
the edit profile administration pages for different users. Users can view their 
autlogin links on their profile pages. Autologin links are of the form:
http://yourwebsite/[subdirectory/]?autologin_code=ABC123
For more convenience it is possible since version 1.05 to generate login links 
directly using the wordpress, site-preview functionality. When viewing the page 
while being logged in as an administrator, the top-bar will show an extra item 
“Auto-login link”. When pointing at the menu item, a dropdown list will list 
all users for whom autologin links were generated on their profile pages. When 
clicking on one of the users, a popup will open showing the link that will 
automatically login a visitor as the selected user and bring him to the 
current page.
Security issues
Since autologin links are meant to be an OPEN way to login to 
your website and can be viewed by users on their profile, it might be considered 
an INSECURE plugin for WordPress. I did my best to make it as secure as possible 
to fit my own needs, but this lead to some design choices which might not sit 
well with all administrators:
Autologin codes are saved as plain text. This means that anyone who can 
execute queries on the WordPress database (plugins, administrators, system 
administrators) can obtain the autologin code for a certain user. I planned an 
extension of this plugin where login codes are hashed. However, this again has 
the disadvantage that noone can redisplay a once generated login link.
This is the most severe problem. For a full self-assesment of possible security 
issues regarding this problem, please visit the

Plugin authors that create free plugins love people complaining and giving a 1-star rating instead of creating a support thread.

Nice.

Companion Auto Update is a powerful and completely free plugin that allows you to manage all the updates on your WordPress site. Our aim is to give you the best control over these updates and stay in the know at all times.
We understand that you might not always be able to check if your WordPress site has any updates that need to be installed. Especially when you maintain multiple websites keeping them up-to-date can be a lot of work. This plugin can help you with that. We’ll keep your site up-to-date and keep you posted about what’s happening and notify you when we need your help with something.
If you have a feature suggestion or idea you’d like to see in the plugin, we’d love to hear about it! <a href="https://codeermeneer.nl/contact/" rel="nofollow ugc">Suggest a Feature</a>

</ol>
<h4>Full control over everything</h4>
Full control, that’s what this plugin is all about. With this plugin you can enable (or disable) automatic updating for plugins, themes, WordPress core updates (both minor and major can be changed separately) and for translation files. Don’t want to run the updater for all plugins? Don’t worry, just disable auto updating for the plugins you’d like to skip and we can even notify you when there’s an update for these plugins so you can go and update them yourself.
<h4>Scheduling</h4>
By default we’ll check for updates twice a day but you can change this to several different options if you’d like. When choosing to update on a daily basis you can even select at what time you’d like it to run. Besides the updaters you can also schedule te notifications, want to update every hour but only recieve notifications once a day? No problem! 
Sometimes developers will push an update that will cause errors on your site, they’ll often fix it within a day but if the updater has run in the mean time it can cause all kinds of issues. Now you can choose to delay updates with an x number of days to prevent this from happening.
<h4>Know what’s happening</h4>
We want you to know what’s happening on your website. This plugin offers settings for various email notifications. We can send you an email when an update is available, when a plugin has been updated or when wordpress has been updated. 
But if you don’t want to recieve emails about this you can still log in and view the changelog to see what happened.
