You can set a cookie to temporarily disable the automatic login. There‘s a [bookmarklet](#bookmarklet)that does the job for you. It is based on the Daniel Siepmann‘s [great work](https://daniel-siepmann.de/Posts/2018/2018-07-25-auto-login-typo3-backend.html). If you feel like saying "Thank you" or donating please consider him first! Warning ------- [](#warning) **Be considerate when using this tool. Always have security in mind.** **Any usage beyond development on a local machine is strongly discouraged.** Make sure to only require this package with `--dev` option and check your deployment for measures to make sure the code is never deployed to a production system. By using this package you agree to be responsible for any damages arising from its usage. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require --dev undkonsorten/typo3-auto-login ``` Usage without composer has not been tested but might be perfectly possible if you take care about class (auto) loading by yourself. Usage ----- [](#usage) To configure username for automatic login set the environment variable `$TYPO3_AUTOLOGIN_USERNAME` somewhere in your environment. Add an initialization call in your `AdditionalConfiguration.php` or in a file required from there. Make sure to only initialize the service for `Development` context by either wrapping it with a condition or putting it to a file only loaded in `Development` context. ``` if (\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Environment::getContext()->isDevelopment()) { \Undkonsorten\TYPO3AutoLogin\Utility\RegisterServiceUtility::registerAutomaticAuthenticationService(); } ``` Autologin will fail and throw an exception in `Production(/*)` contexts. ### Bookmarklet [](#bookmarklet) There are reasons to temporarily disable the automatic login. For this, there‘s a bookmarklet that (un)sets the cookie `_typo3-auto-login` for you to prevent autologin. Just add a new bookmark with the following "URL" ``` javascript:(q=>{let n=window.Notification,s='_typo3-auto-login',d='disable',p='TYPO3 auto login',w=document,a=w.cookie.split(';').some(x=>x.trim()===`${s}=${d}`);w.cookie=`${s}=${a?';expires='+new Date(0).toUTCString():d};path=/;`;n&&n.permission!=='denied'&&n.requestPermission().then(q=>new n(p,{body:`(${a?'✓':'✗'}) ${p} is now ${a?'enabled':'disabled'}. Cookie »${s}« has been ${a?'removed':'set'}.`,icon:'https://extensions.typo3.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ext_icon.png'}));})(); ``` and name the file according to your likings. Q&A ======= [](#qa) - **Q**: *My user is not authenticated, what‘s wrong?* **A**: Either you have a typo in the username or your environment variable hasn‘t taken effect yet. You might need to restart your web server, docker container or the like. Or you‘re running `Production` context… ### Health Score 62 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance85 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity41 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity88 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 64.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
