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.

WP PlugIndex currently records Watrix Login as User version 1.0.4 as active, updated 9d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Watrix Login as User lets administrators sign in as any other user (impersonation) and return to their own account with a single click. It is useful for support requests, reproducing user-reported issues, debugging role and capability problems, and verifying the experience of subscribers, customers or editors without sharing passwords.
Key features:
Adds a “Switch to” row action on the Users screen (localised as “切り替え” in Japanese).
Adds a “Switch to %s” button on the user profile edit screen.
Displays a persistent red warning bar in both the admin and the front-end while an impersonation session is active.
The warning bar contains a one-click link back to the original administrator account.
Switching and switching-back are protected by nonces and a signed cookie (HMAC-SHA256, AUTH_KEY-derived) so the original user id cannot be forged.
A bounded audit log (latest 200 entries) is stored in a single options row.
Security model:
Only users who are administrators AND hold the manage_options capability can switch (manage_network_users on multisite).
The original (acting) user id is stored in a signed, Secure / HttpOnly / SameSite=Lax cookie.
Nonce verification, self-switch prevention and clean-up on user deletion are implemented.
If the AUTH_KEY salts required for signing are missing, the plugin fails closed and the feature is disabled.
