It’s highly recommended that you create a new user account within WordPress, preferable as administrator role and use this account to work on your website. This way it keeps your main admin account hidden in case something major happens and you can’t use an account anymore.

Creating a new user is easy and while doing this, you can give the user a name and a password. With the newest update, you can’t set a password anymore. Therefore making it impossible to log in with this new user account.

Don’t worry, there’s an easy way to get your password for this account. Bad news though, you won’t be able to change your password within WordPress anymore. If your new user account has Administrator as role, you’ll be able to reset your password within WA.

In this Tutorial, I’m going to be walking you through the following steps:

  • How to create a new user account within WordPress
  • How to receive the password and log in using the new account
  • How to change password and use auto-login within WA

Ready? Let's get started. :)

Thank you, Christa! LoL...there were times where it would let you set a password. Just don't know why they took this out. :)

Maybe somekind of security issue!?

It seems. Then again, not being able to change a password or moderate user accounts as admin is a security issue in my opinion...LoL :)
