How to log into WordPress (SSO from my.swiftpress.io)
Open wp-admin with one click using single sign-on from the SwiftPress client area—the blue WP Admin button and popup settings.
SwiftPress can log you into WordPress without typing your wp-admin password every time—using single sign-on (SSO) from the client area after you’re already signed in to my.swiftpress.io.
Steps
- Sign in to my.swiftpress.io.
- Open the site you want to manage (select it from your sites list).
- In the control panel for that site, click the blue “WP Admin” button — usually at the top right of the panel (exact layout may vary slightly when we update the UI).
That action should open WordPress (wp-admin) in a new tab or window and authenticate you automatically via SSO.
Pop-ups and browser settings
SSO often opens wp-admin in a new window. If nothing happens when you click WP Admin:
- Allow pop-ups for
my.swiftpress.ioin your browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox each have a pop-up icon or site settings). - Disable aggressive ad blockers or privacy extensions for that session—they sometimes block SSO or OAuth-style windows.
- Try a different browser or private/incognito window with extensions disabled to test.
After you allow pop-ups, click WP Admin again.
Why SSO is useful
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Faster | No separate WordPress password step when you’re already in the client area. |
| Safer habit | Fewer passwords typed on shared keyboards; access is tied to your SwiftPress account. |
| Fewer lockouts | Less juggling of different credentials if you forget which email owns the WP user. |
You can still use a normal WordPress login at https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/ with a local user if your workflow requires it—SSO is an optional convenience from my.swiftpress.io.
If SSO fails
- Confirm you’re opening WP Admin for the correct site.
- Clear browser cache or try another browser.
- Use live chat on swiftpress.io or my.swiftpress.io — see How to contact customer support.
