Plugin Admin Token Hidden: optimization and security of working with the administrator token

img

Working with the administrator token on websites is an integral part of management and development. However, this process can be associated with certain risks and inconveniences. The Admin Token Hidden module is designed to address these issues by offering a comprehensive solution for optimizing and enhancing the security of working with the token.

Functional capabilities

1. Removing a token value from a URL:

Ready to work with us? Write us!

We respond within the day.

Instead of passing the admin token in clear text in the URL, the Admin Token Hidden module removes its value, leaving an empty parameter  &token=. This provides several advantages at once:

  • Enhanced security: Hiding the token in the URL protects it from being intercepted by malicious actors, making access to confidential data impossible.
  • Improved compatibility: Some modules and plugins rely on the presence of the &token= parameter in the URL, even if the token itself is not required. Admin Token Hidden guarantees the correct operation of such modules by keeping the parameter empty.
  • Convenience of use: The absence of a token value in the URL makes the URLs more concise and understandable.

2. Utilizing cookies:

Instead of passing the token in the URL, Admin Token Hidden utilizes a more secure method – storing the token in an encrypted form within a cookie file on the user's computer. This ensures:

  • Enhanced security: Cookie files are securely protected against unauthorized access, making token interception practically impossible.
  • User friendliness: Users do not need to enter a token manually each time, which simplifies and speeds up the authorization process.
  • Preservation of functionality: Even if the user clears cookie files, the Admin Token Hidden module will automatically request the token again, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

3. Preventing bookmark and session issues:

The Admin Token Hidden module carefully studies scenarios for working with bookmarks and sessions, making them as convenient and correct as possible:

  • Saving bookmarks: When adding a page with a token to bookmarks, the module automatically replaces the token value with an empty parameter. This ensures that bookmarks will function correctly even if the token changes or expires.
  • Session recovery: If the user clears cookies or closes the browser, the Admin Token Hidden module will request the token again, allowing you to easily restore the session.

4. Convenience for developers:

Admin Token Hidden – is an indispensable tool for developers working on websites:

  • Simplify debugging: The empty token in the URL allows for easy tracking of requests and testing various token operation scenarios.
  • Development on localhost: The module is ideal for use on a local server, where using the token in the URL can be unsafe.
  • Productivity increase: Admin Token Hidden optimizes work with token, making it faster and more efficient.

Advantages of Usage

  • Enhanced security: Hiding the token in a cookie and using an https connection ensures maximum protection against theft and malicious use.
  • Improved compatibility: The module is compatible with various modules and plugins without requiring additional settings.
  • Ease of use: Working with bookmarks, sessions, and authentication becomes simpler and more intuitive.
  • Efficient debugging: The empty token simplifies the process of debugging and testing web applications.
Admin Token Hidden – is a simple yet effective module that greatly enhances the security and usability of administrator tokens on websites. It is a valuable tool for both developers and website owners, offering a comprehensive solution for optimizing and securing the token management process.
