<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>QROGIN is a developer-friendly QR based social login platform delivering FIDO2 passkey-powered passwordless authentication, combining enterprise-grade security with easy integration and seamless identity management.<br />
Using this plugin, developers will be able to generate tamper‑proof (time-limited & one-time use) QR codes and secure one‑click links(button) for QROGIN user-login/signup. The widgets talks to your QROGIN back‑end, displays a countdown, polls for authentication and then fires a JavaScript event so you can finish the flow your way.</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Three modes: <code>QrWidget</code>, <code>QrWithLink</code>, <code>SecureLinkButton</code></li>
<li>Customise colours, labels and CSS classes from the shortcode</li>
<li>Accessible: countdown and refresh button included</li>
<li>Event‑driven – hook into <code>qrogin-authenticated</code> for SPA redirects</li>
<li>Works on any page/post or block editor pattern</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>[qrogin_qr_widgets]</p>
<p>Attributes:<br />
See the “Attribute Reference” section below for all options.</p>
<h3>Attribute Reference</h3>
<ul>
<li>base_url (required) – Endpoint that returns QR payload</li>
<li>status_base (required) – Endpoint polled to read auth status</li>
<li>tenant_id (required) – Your tenant/account ID</li>
<li>api_key (required) – API key issued by QROGIN</li>
<li>mode – QrWidget (default), QrWithLink, or SecureLinkButton</li>
<li>ttl_ms – Time‑to‑live in milliseconds (default: 55000)</li>
<li>poll_interval – Polling gap in milliseconds (default: 5000)</li>
<li>class – Extra classes for the widget wrapper</li>
<li>button_label – Button inner HTML (default: “Secure one‑time link”)</li>
<li>button_class – Extra classes for the button</li>
<li>button_style – Inline CSS for the button</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage example: catching the authentication event</h3>
<p>Add this script to your page (you can adjust the redirect URL):</p>
<pre><code><script>
document.querySelectorAll('.qrogin-qr-container').forEach(el => {
  el.addEventListener('qrogin-authenticated', e => {
    const { token, user_id } = e.detail;
    sessionStorage.setItem('qroginJwt', token);
    sessionStorage.setItem('userId', user_id);
    // Redirect to a safe location
    window.location.href = '/account'; // <- change this
  });
});
</script><h3>Privacy</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>This plugin sends only the fields you configure—<code>tenant_id</code> (also known as customer_id), <code>api_key</code>, and associated session data—to <strong>your own</strong> QROGIN back‑end. All traffic travels over <strong>HTTPS</strong> to QROGIN‑owned sub‑domains (<code>*.qrogin.com</code>) only. No data is transmitted to the plugin author or any other third‑party service.</p>
