Automatic Login WordPress Plugin

Developers rejoice! Automatic Login logs you in automatically on your local development installation if the following conditions are met:

• The WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE constant is defined as 'local'.
• A user exists with the username 'admin' and password 'password'.

Alternatively, the AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_LOGIN and AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_PASSWORD constants can be used to define the login credentials for Automatic Login. Note that Automatic Login does not create a user for you and the user should already exist.

// Credentials for the Automatic Login plugin.
define( 'AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_LOGIN', 'mycooluser' );
define( 'AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_LOGIN', 'mycoolpassword' );
