<p><strong>Bifröst</strong> is a WordPress plugin that helps create instant passwordless login links. Use those links to securely allow people temporary admin access to your WordPress site (dashboard).</p>
<p>As WordPress site owners, we frequently give temporary admin access to people. Among many cases, giving temporary admin access to support engineers to troubleshoot an issue is prominent. In contrast with the default process of creating a user, <strong>Bifröst</strong> can instantly create a secure login link.</p>

<p>How often do you need to allow someone access to your WordPress site? There are many cases when you need to allow people access to your site, including support engineers.</p>
<p>Allowing temporary access to your WordPress site was never easier. Create a temporary login URL to give people instant access to your site. You don’t need any email address, username or password.</p>
<h3>🔐️ Feature Highlight of Bifröst</h3>
<p>🔑️ Instantly create passwordless temporary login links for WP.</p>
<p>🔑️ Remove/delete temporary login links anytime you want.</p>
<p>🔑️ By default, the temporary login links are valid for 7 days.</p>
<p>🔑️ You can increase the validity by 3 days for expired login links.</p>
<h3>How does Bifröst work</h3>
<p>You can create passwordless temporary login links after successfully installing <strong>Bifröst</strong> on your WordPress site. Like most WordPress plugins installation is very straightforward. Moreover, it does not require any additional configuration.</p>
<p>Bifröst adds its option as a sub-menu under the WordPress <strong>User</strong> menu. You can also quickly access the menu from the installed plugins section. Under the plugin name, there is a quick link called <strong>Create Login Links</strong>. Click on <strong>Create Login Links</strong> to access plugin settings. You can create temporary login links from here by clicking the Generate button.</p>
<p>By default, temporary login links are valid for 7 days. When the link expires after 7 days, you will find an option to extend the validity. You can extend validity for 3 days (you can keep repeating this process as long as necessary).</p>
<h3>Bifröst prioritizes security</h3>
<p>🔒️ Though we want to add ease to your workflow, site security is our top priority. As a result, we have coupled ease and security together.</p>
<p>🔒️ First, the temporary login link appends a cryptographically secure random byte stream. As a result, there is no pattern for people to predict/target.</p>
<p>🔒️ Second, the link expires in 7 days. So, even if you don’t remove a link, access to your dashboard will not work.</p>
<p>🔒️ On top of that, people who access your dashboard using the passwordless temporary login links, cannot access the <strong>User</strong> menu. As a result, they cannot create a new user or modify an existing user.</p>

<p>Login Links allows you to create temporary, password-less access links for existing users or guest accounts. The links can be configured to expire either after a certain period of time or after a set number of successful logins.</p>
<h3>How Login Link Works</h3>
<p>A login link is a special link that, when clicked, automatically logs the user in. They don’t need an account. The login occurs either under an existing account or under a temporary account created specifically for this link. The link has an expiration date, after which it is automatically deleted.</p>
<h3>Provide Temporary Access</h3>
<p>Create a login link with a specific role for support teams, clients, developers, or guest users who need temporary access to the site, and email it directly to them. They don’t need to create an account or come up with a password, and you won’t have to worry about deleting their account later.</p>
<h3>Passwordless Access for Users</h3>
<p>Allow already registered users to log in without a password. Users request a one-time login link by entering the email they used during registration, and the link is sent to that email.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>

</ul>

Login Links – Passwordless Login, Temporary Access Links & Custom Login Form


i tried two other plugins and they were limited to creating links for new users only. This worked great for my use case of sending creds to a client I had already created an account for. 



i think the popup modal with the new link might need some style adjustments on mobile devices. It was tricky to copy the entire link. A copy button would be a help... It might have been there just couldn't see the full width of the modal on my phone.

Create secure self-expiring login links for temporary access and guest users, and enable passwordless login for registered ones.
