Estimated Time to Complete: 5 minutes
Prerequisites:

WP Umbrella plugin installed and connected to your WordPress site

Steps to Follow
Step 1: Understanding How 1-Click Access Works
When 1-Click Access is enabled:
It creates a secure connection between your WordPress site and the WP Umbrella dashboard.
This connection uses a unique API key and a secret token generated within the WP Umbrella settings on your WordPress site.
Once set up, administrators can access the WordPress admin area of their connected sites directly from the WP Umbrella dashboard with just one click—no password needed.
You can also specify which admin account to use for logging in directly from the WP Umbrella dashboard.
Step 2: Enjoy the Benefits of 1-Click Access
Here are the key benefits of using 1-Click Access:
Convenience: Quick access to the WordPress admin panel from a single dashboard.
Time-Saving: Eliminates the need to log in to each site individually.
Enhanced Security: Reduces the risk of password-related security breaches.
Step 3: Deactivate 1-Click Access (If Needed)
The 1-Click Access is a toggleable feature within WP Umbrella's plugin settings.
When this toggle is switched off, the feature is deactivated, which means:
The secure, password-less connection between WP Umbrella's dashboard and your WordPress site's admin area is severed.
As a result, the convenience of accessing your WordPress backend with a single click from the WP Umbrella dashboard is disabled.
Administrators will then be required to log in through the standard WordPress login page using their credentials to access the site's backend.
Step 4: Reasons Why You May Want to Disable 1-Click Access
You might want to disable 1-Click Access if:
You're troubleshooting potential security issues.
You're conducting maintenance that requires disabling all external connections.
You prefer to use traditional login methods for a period of time.
Step 5: Reactivate 1-Click Access
Re-enabling 1-Click Access is straightforward. Simply switch the toggle back to the 'on' position, and the feature will resume its function, allowing for one-click backend access through WP Umbrella's dashboard.
