Is fuctioning with problems, dont use it.
Sometimes it’s working and sometimes it’s not.

It works!!! Better than the first one as you can switch users from the admin bar.

I was having problems with the popular User Switching plugin. Was searching for an alternative. And it seems I have found a better alternative in this Fast User Switching plugin. Does the job very well and also having extra features like ‘recently switched users’, ‘switch by searching a user id’, ‘switch from Woo-commerce order page’ etc. Very useful plugin without fuss.
Works, intuitive.
