The Right Way

Never share your own admin username and password. Instead, create a separate admin account specifically for WPRobo.

Step-by-Step

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin
  2. Go to Users → Add New
  3. Set the username to wprobo-dev
  4. Use the email we provide (we will send this during onboarding)
  5. Set the role to Administrator
  6. Click Add New User

Why a Separate Account?

  • Audit trail — You can see exactly what changes WPRobo made vs your own
  • Revocable — Delete the account when the project is done
  • Secure — Your personal password stays private

What About Hosting Access?

If we need hosting access (for migrations, DNS changes, or server configuration), we will request it specifically with instructions for your hosting provider. We never ask for your hosting account password — only the specific access we need.

After the project: Delete the wprobo-dev user account. If we need access again for maintenance, we will ask you to recreate it.
