EXT:login_link

Generates one-time login links for backend and frontend users directly from TYPO3 user management — ideal for support and debugging.


What Does the Extension Do?

An additional icon appears in the BE and FE user list. A click opens a modal with a generated login link — allowing you to log in directly as that user without a password.

Useful for support cases where a problem only occurs under a specific user account, or when debugging frontend permissions.

Installation

composer require georgringer/login-link

Backend Users

Login links can only be generated for non-admin users.

Disable the feature:

LOGINLINK_DISABLE_BE=1

Frontend Users

Configure the login page via Page TSconfig:

# ID of the login page (e.g. the existing FE login page)
tx_loginlink.fe.loginPage = 123

Disable the feature:

LOGINLINK_DISABLE_FE=1
