WordPress hides application passwords on each user’s own profile page. If your site has twenty users, checking them all means opening twenty profiles. There is no screen anywhere in WordPress that answers the obvious question:
Who, and what, can get into this site right now?
BuildWithHumza Application Password Audit adds that screen under Tools . It is read-only apart from two deliberate revoke buttons, and it never sends anything anywhere.
Why application passwords matter
An application password is a permanent key. It is created once for a script, a mobile app, a backup service or an integration, it works over the REST API, and it never expires on its own . Changing your WordPress password does not revoke it. Most site owners have no idea how many exist, who created them, or whether anything is still using them.
This plugin lists every one of them, site-wide, with the date it was created, the date it was last used, and the IP address it was last used from.
What the report shows
- Application passwords for every user, with created date, last used date and last IP
- Active login sessions per user, so you can see who is currently signed in somewhere
- Last login for every user, recorded from the moment you activate the plugin
- Roles , with accounts that can fully control the site clearly marked
- Remote management tools that hold standing access: MainWP, UpdraftCentral, ManageWP and Wordfence
- Warning flags on anything that looks abandoned
The flags are the point
A list of twenty application passwords tells you nothing. The plugin marks the ones worth acting on:
- Application passwords that have never been used at all
- Application passwords unused for over 90 days
- Administrators who have not logged in for over 90 days
- Administrators with no recorded login since tracking began
Flagged rows sort to the top, so you read the risk first instead of scrolling.
