White-Glove Migration lets a LeadConnector Expert migrate your WordPress site for you. Instead of sharing your WordPress username and password, you create a secure access link with the LC Migrator plugin and provide that instead.

The link lets your LeadConnector Expert sign in to run the migration, expires automatically after a time you choose, and can be revoked at any time. For added security, only a LeadConnector Expert can use the link — even though it grants admin access, no one else can sign in to your site with it.

This guide walks you through creating and sharing the link.

Part 4 — Manage your link

While your link is active you'll see a countdown showing when it expires. You can manage it anytime from the same screen:

  • Regenerate — creates a new link and immediately invalidates the old one. Only one link can be active at a time.

  • Revoke link — cuts off access immediately. In the confirmation window, choose Revoke link. To give access again afterward, generate a new link and share it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this safe?

Yes. Your WordPress password is never shared, the link only works for a LeadConnector Expert, it expires automatically, and you can revoke it at any time.

Do I have to share my WordPress username and password?

No. The secure access link replaces password sharing entirely.

I need more time for the migration. What do I do?

Generate a new link and choose a longer duration (up to 7 days).

How do I stop access right now?

Open the secure access link screen and click Revoke link.

What happens when the link expires?

It stops working automatically. If access is still needed, generate a new link and share it with your LeadConnector Expert.
