Track Temporary Login Access in WordPress with Logify

When you hand a developer or support agent a temporary access link, it can be hard to tell their guest session apart from a normal team login later on. Logify records the login method on each login event, so a sign-in made through a Temporary Login link is captured on the standard login entry in Logify > Activity Logs — with the user, action, and exact time.

What is Temporary Login tagging?

Temporary Login tagging is a Logify feature that records how a user signed in. Logify recognises logins made through the third-party Temporary Login Without Password plugin — the common way to grant a developer, agency, or support desk time-limited admin access — and is designed to label those logins on the standard User > Login event so they stand out from ordinary team sign-ins.

This is login-method tagging, not a separate integration: there is no dedicated Temporary Login screen or event set. Login-method tagging is part of the free Logify plugin (added in version 1.6.0).

Why track temporary access?

Site owners routinely share temporary admin links with freelancers, agency technicians, and plugin support teams. Once access is granted, it helps to know:

• When guest access was used — see the exact time a temporary login occurred in your main activity log.
• Who acted during the session — cross-reference the login time with any changes made to your site afterwards.
• A record for later review — search or export the log to audit what happened during a support session.

How to review temporary logins

Step 1: Open the Activity Logs screen

In your WordPress dashboard, go to Logify > Activity Logs.

Step 2: Find the temporary login event

Scan the activity stream:

1. Event / Action — look for User events with a login action.
2. User and Description — the temporary user's account name and ID appear on the login entry (for example, User Logged In: vfd (ID: 7)), timestamped to when the session started.

Step 3: Search for the login

To isolate a temporary access sign-in:

1. Type the temporary user's username into the Search box (which matches the description, object name, IP, or username).
2. Optionally set the Event Type dropdown to User to show only user events.
3. Set a Date From and Date To range around the session.
4. Click Filter to display matching entries. Click Reset to restore the default view.

Step 4: Export the records

To share a report of the access with your team or client:

1. Apply your filters to show the relevant login entries.
2. Click Export CSV in the top-right corner to download the records.

For all export options, see Export your WordPress activity log.

Conclusion

Logify records temporary-login sign-ins on the standard login event, so a developer or support session appears in the same audit trail as the rest of your site activity — with the user and time attached. To follow what a guest did after signing in, pair this with WordPress user sessions and the wider activity log.

FAQs

Does Logify have a Temporary Login integration?

No. Logify does not add a dedicated Temporary Login screen or event set. It records the login method on the standard login event and recognises logins made through the third-party Temporary Login Without Password plugin, so those sign-ins appear on the normal User > Login activity rather than in a separate area.

Is Temporary Login tagging a PRO feature?

No. Login-method tagging is part of the free Logify plugin (added in version 1.6.0) and works on both the free and PRO editions. You also need the Temporary Login Without Password plugin installed to generate the temporary access links that Logify then records.

How do I find a temporary login in the activity log?

Open Logify > Activity Logs, set the Event Type dropdown to User, and use the Search box to enter the temporary user's username. Add a Date From and Date To range around the session, then click Filter. Every login is stored as a User event with a login action and a timestamp.

Can I see what a guest changed after logging in?

Yes. Because Logify records the login and every subsequent change as separate activity entries, you can note the temporary login's timestamp and then review the entries that follow it — post edits, setting changes, plugin actions, and more — to reconstruct exactly what happened during the session.
