Temporary Login Without Password

Ownership

Held by storeapps throughout, with no change of ownership observed since daily tracking began on 02 Aug 2026.

Full observed history, including every field transition

Committing accounts

Read from the plugin’s public release log, so these predate this registry. A committing account is not an owner. Thirty accounts commit to WooCommerce and it has never changed hands.

This registry did not observe a transfer; it read these names off a public log. Whether that reflects a change of ownership is not something the directory publishes.

Adoption

How widely the plugin is installed, and what the people running it think of it. WordPress.org rounds install figures to one significant digit, so they describe an order of magnitude rather than a headcount.

Widely adopted: 90,000+ active installs. Among the more broadly installed plugins in the directory.

704 downloads a day over the last 7 days, falling 16% against the 7 days before. Downloads are counted exactly and without a ceiling, so they show movement the rounded install figure cannot.

20 ratings left in the last 82 days, averaging 5.0 out of 5 against a lifetime average of 5.0. Recent ratings are in line with the lifetime figure.

Install band fell to 90,000+ on 11 Oct 2026, from 100,000+. Both figures are rounded to one significant digit, so the size of the change is not knowable from them.

From recent reviews

What reviewers wrote on wordpress.org between 21 Jun 2026 and 17 Sep 2026: 23 reviews, counted by theme. Every count links to the reviews behind it.

In this window, reviewers describe Temporary Login Without Password mostly as an easy tool for handing off site access. 10 of 23 reviews mention how quick the plugin is to set up or use, often in the same breath as praising the interface. Close behind, 8 of 23 reviews explain using it to give developers or support staff temporary access to troubleshoot a problem or perform maintenance, rather than sharing a real password. 6 of 23 reviews simply say the plugin works reliably or exactly as described, with several reporting no issues at all. A smaller set, 2 of 23 reviews, points to the expiry window itself, noting it can be extended once initial access runs out.

Every field we record, one column per observation. Fields that never moved are named once rather than repeated across every column. A row of identical numbers would be padding.

History

Everything dated that this registry holds about the plugin, most recent first. Releases carry the author’s own release date; everything else is dated to when it was observed.

Entries marked from the release log predate this registry, and daily observation began 02 Aug 2026. They were read from the plugin’s public SVN history after the fact, not watched as they happened. Everything else was observed directly.

What we know, and what we don’t

Everything on this page in one place, including the gaps, so that nothing here is mistaken for a clean bill of health.

Every record on this site, this one included, works under the same limits. We read what WordPress.org publishes about a plugin, never the plugin’s own code, so nothing here says whether a plugin is well built or safe. Install counts reach us already rounded; a change smaller than a band step doesn’t show. We don’t track security advisories yet. For anything older than our first observation we rely on the plugin’s public release log, where one exists. What this registry can and cannot see

Similar plugins

Plugins that share this one’s tags and talk about the same things in their own descriptions. Distinctive tags count for far more than broad ones. Sharing hover means something, sharing woocommerce does not, and a plugin that never mentions the subject matter is left out however its author tagged it. Among close matches, more widely installed plugins are listed first. This is a grouping rather than a ranking of quality.
