Application passwords & security

How MCP Manager keeps your credentials safe using WordPress Application Passwords — and how to view or revoke them.

·

MCP Manager never asks for or stores your main WordPress password. Instead it uses WordPress’s built-in Application Passwords — separate, revocable credentials made for exactly this kind of connection.

How it works

  • Each password is generated by WordPress’s secure system and tied to your user account.
  • It’s shown only once, right after you generate it — copy it straight into your client.
  • You can create a separate password for each client (Claude, VS Code, Copilot, and so on), so you can revoke one without affecting the others.

Viewing & revoking passwords

Every password appears in your WordPress profile under Users → Profile → Account Management → Application Passwords. From there you can see when each was last used and revoke any of them instantly — that connection stops working immediately.

Two layers of safety: a valid password only gets a client to the server — Access Control then decides whether that user is actually allowed to use it. See Access control & permissions.
