This plugin enhances the standard "Log in as" feature in Moodle™ LMS, improving user experience and security.

Instead of switching users within the same session, it introduces an option to launch a new Incognito window for a separate "Log in as" session.

Key benefits

• No repeated logins: Administrators don’t need to log back in after ending the "Log in as" session.
• Parallel access: The admin’s session remains active in the main browser window, while the "Log in as" session runs separately in Incognito mode.
• Improved security: Incognito mode is designed for handling untrusted content, ensuring the "Log in as" session does not interfere with normal LMS use.

Known issues

• In Safari the option to "Open in New Private Window" is only available when already using a private window.
• In Chrome and Microsoft Edge the Incognito windows share a single session, meaning only one "Log in as" session can be active at a time.
• Course level "Log in as" is not supported.
• For security reasons, the generated log in as link expires after fifteen seconds, which may not be optional for accessibility.
• This feature may not be compatible with mobile phone and tablet browsers.
• Test coverage is minimal due to the inability to test Incognito sessions in Behat.
