Magic Login
Magic Login provides instant WordPress admin access to any of your environments without needing to remember passwords.
What is Magic Login?
Magic Login generates a one-time, secure URL that automatically logs you into the WordPress admin dashboard for any environment. This eliminates the need to:
- Remember multiple passwords
- Manage WordPress user credentials
- Share login credentials with team members
Using Magic Login
Each environment card has a Magic Login button (sparkle icon) in the top-right corner.
Steps:
- Navigate to the Deploy tab
- Find the environment card you want to access
- Click the sparkle icon (Magic Login button)
- A new browser tab opens with automatic login
Available Environments
You can use Magic Login for all three environments:
| Environment | Button Location |
|---|---|
| Development | Development card header |
| QA | QA card header |
| Production | Production card header |
Security
Magic Login URLs are:
- One-time use - Each URL works only once
- Time-limited - URLs expire after a short period
- User-specific - Generated for your authenticated session
- Logged - All magic login uses are recorded for audit purposes
Session Security
Magic Login URLs are tied to your Urumi session. If someone else obtains a magic login URL, they would still need your Urumi authentication to generate new ones.
When to Use Magic Login
Good use cases:
- Quick admin access during development
- Testing user roles and permissions
- Debugging issues that require admin access
- Reviewing content changes
For production deployments:
- Always verify you're entering the correct environment
- Use QA for testing before accessing Production admin
