Because they are one-time login URLs, they will only work once. If you need access again, you'll need to run the WP-CLI command again.

Using WP CLI to generate OTT URLs is straightforward. You can generate multiple login tokens and manage their deletion timing.

This plugin also supports API usage for generating tokens, allowing for flexible integration into your workflows.
