Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Automatic Login version 3.0.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.

About this plugin

Developers rejoice! Skip the login screen during local development. Automatic Login logs you in automatically on your local development environment.

Quick Start

  • Install and activate the plugin.
  • Define the WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE constant as local in your wp-config.php file.
  • Create a user with username admin and password password.
  • That’s it—you’ll be logged in automatically!

Log in as another user
