  • Passwords are not revealed.
  • Used the WordPress nonce system, that’s why administrators or who are allowed by the administrators only they can switch.

Super cool tool that works a charm

charlsouma January 27, 2023
Thank you for this tool. It's very handy. I use it to switch to customer accounts in order to load orders for them. Certain of my customers have different pricing. so this allows me to load an order with their pricing applied. I would like to be able to configure the admin dashboard feature to only show a particular user profile subset. other than this it is very good as it is.

Thanks!

Very useful plugin. In my case I'm using it with a B2B solution to make orders for my clients. In the future would be great if we could manage the users that are showed in the switching dropdown. Best Regards

simple and functional!

Useful simple plugin – seems to be active & logging on the front end though

I'm a huge fan of these micro productivity plugins. Just note - there seems to be a bug or error where there is a console log spitting out some erroneous details into the console on the FRONT END of the site when not even logged in. There shouldn't be a need to load the plugin files on the front end and the console log error could be patched if possible. If that's done then otherwise fantastic job

useful plugin
