One-Click Admin Login to Any Site

One-Click Admin Login to Any Site

If you manage more than a handful of sites, you know the routine: open a tab, navigate to /administrator or /wp-admin, type your username, type your password, hit enter, wait. Multiply that by 10, 50, or 200 sites and it adds up fast.

One-click admin login removes all of that. From your mySites.guru dashboard, press a single button and you’re sitting in the admin console of any connected Joomla or WordPress site — logged in, ready to work.

Login to any Joomla or WordPress Admin Console with a single click from the mySites.guru service.

Thousands of users have been using this feature since 2017. We publish live login statistics inside your account so you can see just how much time it saves across your team.

How it works for you

  1. Click the Admin Login button next to any site
  2. A new tab opens and you’re already logged into the admin console

That’s it. No credentials to type, no login pages to wait for.

How it works under the hood

Your password is never involved. We don’t ask for it, we don’t store it, and we don’t want it. Instead, every login goes through a multi-step encrypted handshake:

  1. mySites.guru contacts our request validation service to register an upcoming request
  2. An encrypted login request is sent to the mySites.guru plugin/extension on your site
  3. Your site checks back with our validation service to confirm the request is genuine
  4. After validation, your site decrypts the request and sees it’s a login instruction
  5. Your site creates a new session for the admin user you’ve pre-selected in mySites.guru
  6. You’re redirected to your site, where your browser picks up that session

The result: you’re logged in without a password ever crossing the wire. For logging into your mySites.guru account itself, we also support passkeys — so you can go fully passwordless end to end.

Setting it up

One-click login is an opt-in feature. To enable it:

  1. Connect your site to your mySites.guru account
  2. Go to the Settings Tab on the Manage Site page
  3. Select the admin user you want to log in as

Once configured, every admin link within mySites.guru automatically becomes a one-click login button.

The auto sign-in dashboard

Need to jump between multiple sites quickly? The Secure Auto Sign In dashboard lists all your connected sites with a login button next to each one. You can also choose which user to log in as, per site.

Three ways to get there:

  • Press ll (two lowercase L’s) from anywhere in mySites.guru
  • Press Cmd+K to open the command palette and search for “Secure Auto Sign In”
  • Use the Tool Finder

Sites with .htaccess protection

If your admin area is behind .htaccess basic auth, you have two options:

  • Store the credentials on the site’s settings page in mySites.guru so login is fully automatic
  • Enter them once manually when prompted — your browser caches .htaccess credentials until you restart it, so you’ll rarely need to re-enter them
