    Hello,

    I have a question about the security of the plugin, and in particular concerning cookies to change user account (user_login). The administrator’s login appears in plain text in the cookie, does this present a risk? Can it be seen by someone other than the administrator?

    Thank you in advance for your reply

    The cookies that User Switching uses behave the same way as the standard authentication cookies that WordPress core uses when you log in. Take a look at the plugin description and the privacy statement, I’ve written about this there.
