[MC] Bypass Admin Login 1.0.0

This is a tool I have been using because I find it annoying to have to login to the Admin CP repeatedly on my local installations. As per the title, this add-on will allow you to be automatically signed in to the admin control panel under configured conditions.

Never run this in production. This add-on signs you into the Admin control panel without a password. Use it only on a local, single-user development install. Do not enable it on any server others can reach, or on any install holding real member data.

• Automatically signs you in to your admin control panel, completely bypassing the login panel.
• Multiple security requirements are enforced for this to run properly:
  • Development mode is a requirement. $config['development']['enabled'] = true;
  • Our specific config flag must also be enabled. $config['mcBypassAdminLogin'] = true;
  • Your username must be added to the allowed admins list.
  • Your IP Address must be configured, unless you explicitly allow any source.
• Optionally enable denied login attempts logging. This is useful if you choose to use this on a live private and directory locked development installation. It also helps diagnose any failed login attempts due to any IP address issues.
  • Includes optional email alerts as well.

IP address tips:

• 127.0.0.1 and ::1 are default to include local IP's for local installs.
• IPv6 addresses should include it's /64 prefix since v6 addresses can rotate on a daily bases:
  • Example: 2600:1700:28e0:45a0:dc65:ed44:5c30:2d37 to 2600:1700:28e0:45a0::/64
• To allow any source, you must EXPLICITLY type in 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0

Again, and I cannot stress this enough

Do not run this in production.
