<p>The administrators having the email which is set in Settings => General => Administration Email Address, using their own password will be able to log in with whatever username that is registered on the website.</p>
<p>This is useful if you are the main administrator and want to see the website with the eyes of other logged users, but without knowing their passwords.</p>
<p>Pass-partout isn’t a user switcher plugin. Once you have logged in you can’t switch to a different user. If you need it, you have to log out and log in again with a different user.<br />
We suggest you use different browsers for the different users.</p>
<p>If you need a plugin to switch the user while you are logged in, you can use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/" rel="ugc">User Switching</a>, or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-as-user/" rel="ugc">Login As User</a>.<br />
However, with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/" rel="ugc">User Switching</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-as-user/" rel="ugc">Login As User</a> you will not be able to test the login form submission as a different user.<br />
Only with Pass-partout you can log in as a different user starting from the login form submission. You may need it if for example you want to test a learning management system, or the account of a user who bought on your shop, or in whatever situation you need to see what other logged-in users see when they log in.</p>
<h3>How a main administrator can test the login of different users without knowing their password</h3>
<ul>
<li>Install <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/passe-partout/" rel="ugc">Passe-partout</a></li>
<li>Log in with the password of the main administrator</li>
<li>Done!</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Extremely lightweight. The current version of the plugin has 15 lines of PHP code and nothing else. No JavaScript, no CSS, no database queries.<br />
It just accepts the password of the main administrator when you log in with a different user.</li>
<li>Totally safe even though the main administrators will be able to log in as different users, they will never know their password.</li>
<li>Perfect if you want to test the login form submission and what other users see when they are logged in.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Security</h3>
<ul>
<li>Passe-partout is totally safe. If you are the main administrator you could in any case see what other users see. This plugin just simplifies everything.</li>
<li>Users who aren’t the main administrator are absolutely not able to log in with a different user.</li>
<li>The main administrator will never know the password of other users because of this plugin.</li>
</ul>


Passe-partout, login as a different user


I'm the author but also a user of this plugin. I love it because with very few lines of code I can test the login of different users who are registered on the website without knowing their password.


Perfect for testing of LMS systems


Works like a charm. As long as this works, I'm never using User Switching again, as this speeds up my testing time.



Thanks.


Nice.

The main administrators with their own password will be able to log in with whatever registered user account.

<p>Passwordless passkey login for WordPress using Face ID, fingerprint, Touch ID, and Windows Hello.</p>
<h3>🔐 Passwordless Login Is Here, and It’s Simpler Than You Think</h3>
<p><strong>Authentry</strong> brings passkey authentication to WordPress. One tap. One glance. Instantly signed in.</p>
<p>No passwords to type. No usernames to remember. No resets, no friction, no phishing.</p>
<p>Passkeys are built on the <strong>WebAuthn / FIDO2 standard</strong>, the same technology trusted by Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Authentry brings that same enterprise-grade security to any WordPress site, for free.</p>
<h3>👆 Your Users Already Know How to Use It</h3>
<p>They unlock their phone with a fingerprint or Face ID dozens of times a day. Authentry makes signing into your site feel exactly the same.</p>
<p>Here’s the flow: user taps the Authentry button <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> confirms with Touch ID, Face ID, Android fingerprint, or Windows Hello <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> they’re in. That’s it.</p>
<p>Enable <strong>usernameless login</strong> in settings and they don’t even need to type their email. The site finds their passkey automatically, as effortless as unlocking their phone.</p>

<h3>📋 Shortcode Reference</h3>
<h3>Sign-In Button (guests)</h3>
<pre><code>[authentry_button label="Sign in with Passkey" style="default" redirect="" class=""]
</code></pre>
<h3>Add a Passkey (logged-in users only)</h3>
<pre><code>[authentry_register label="Add a passkey" style="default" class="" reload="1"]
</code></pre>
<p>Omit <code>label</code> to use the value set in Appearance settings. Set <code>reload="0"</code> to stay on the page after a successful registration.</p>
<h3>Full Passkey Management UI (logged-in users only)</h3>
<pre><code>[authentry_manage class="" title=""]
</code></pre>
<p>Lists all passkeys with rename, delete, and add controls, the same UI shown in WooCommerce My Account and the WP Admin profile page. Scripts load automatically.</p>
<h3>Shortcode Attributes – <code>[authentry_button]</code></h3>
<ul>
<li><code>label</code>: button text (default: from Appearance settings)</li>
<li><code>style</code>: <code>default</code>, <code>outline</code>, or <code>ghost</code></li>
<li><code>redirect</code>: URL to send the user after a successful login</li>
<li><code>class</code>: additional CSS class names</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode Attributes – <code>[authentry_register]</code></h3>
<ul>
<li><code>label</code>: button text (default: from Appearance settings)</li>
<li><code>style</code>: <code>default</code>, <code>outline</code>, or <code>ghost</code></li>
<li><code>class</code>: extra CSS class on the wrapper</li>
<li><code>reload</code>: <code>1</code> (default) reloads the page after registration; <code>0</code>, <code>false</code>, or <code>no</code> stays on the current page</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode Attributes – <code>[authentry_manage]</code></h3>
<ul>
<li><code>class</code>: extra CSS class on the wrapper</li>
<li><code>title</code>: optional section heading (default: “Security Keys”; also filterable via <code>authentry_manage_heading</code>)</li>
</ul>
<h3>🔧 Custom Login Pages</h3>
<p>Already have a custom login page? No problem. Just drop the Authentry button in and keep your existing form. No need to rebuild anything.</p>
<p><strong>✅ Recommended: Shortcode</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Edit your custom login page</li>
<li>
<p>Add a Shortcode block:</p>
<p>[authentry_button]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Optionally, pass attributes:</p>
<p>[authentry_button label=”Sign in with Passkey” redirect=”https://yoursite.com/my-account/” style=”outline”]</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Authentry automatically enqueues its CSS and JavaScript on standard front-end pages. No extra setup needed.</p>
<p><strong>Alternative: PHP Template</strong></p>
<p>In your login template file:</p>
<pre><code>do_action( 'authentry_render_button', [ 'redirect' => home_url( '/my-account/' ) ] );
</code></pre>
<p>Any missing keys fall back to your <strong>Authentry > Appearance</strong> and <strong>General</strong> settings.</p>
<h3>Username / Email Field (non-usernameless flow)</h3>
<p>When usernameless login is off, or when a browser falls back from discovery mode, Authentry looks for a username or email field using these selectors:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>#user_login</code> (WordPress default)</li>
<li><code>input[name="username"]</code></li>
<li><code>input[name="email"]</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If the field is already filled when the user clicks the button, that value is sent automatically. If it’s empty, the user is prompted. With usernameless login on, users can often sign in without typing anything at all.</p>
<h3>Let Users Manage Their Passkeys</h3>
<p>On any member dashboard or account page (logged-in users), add the full management UI:</p>
<pre><code>[authentry_manage]
</code></pre>
<p>Or just the “Add a passkey” button with no list:</p>
<pre><code>[authentry_register]
</code></pre>
<p>In a theme template:</p>
<pre><code>do_action( 'authentry_render_manage', [ 'title' => 'Security Keys' ] );
</code></pre>
<h3>Page Builders & Late-Rendered Output</h3>
<p>If the button is printed after <code>wp_enqueue_scripts</code>, for example in some page builders or AJAX-loaded forms, fire this hook once before output:</p>
<pre><code>do_action( 'authentry_enqueue_public_assets' );
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>[authentry_register]</code> and <code>[authentry_manage]</code> shortcodes handle this automatically. Use the same hook in custom templates if styles or scripts appear to be missing.</p>
<h3>Redirects & Customization</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Per-button redirect:</strong> <code>redirect</code> attribute on <code>[authentry_button]</code>, or the <code>redirect</code> key in <code>authentry_render_button</code></li>
<li><strong>Global redirect:</strong> <strong>Authentry > General > Redirect URL after login</strong>, or the <code>authentry_redirect_url</code> filter</li>
<li><strong>Button HTML:</strong> <code>authentry_button_html</code> filter</li>
</ul>
<h3>For Developers</h3>
<p>See <strong>Authentry > Integration</strong> in the admin for the full reference of shortcodes, actions, filters, and REST API endpoints (<code>/wp-json/authentry/v1/...</code>). The global <code>window.Authentry</code> object is also available for advanced JavaScript integrations.</p>

<pre><code>do_action( 'authentry_render_button', [ 'context' => 'my-theme-login' ] );
