Features of temporary accounts

How do you get a temporary account?
Upon successfully completing an edit without logging in first, users will automatically be provided with a temporary account. The username for this temporary account will follow a standard pattern, with an incrementing number for each new temporary account.

Where can the account be used?
Temporary accounts will work across all connected wikis. For example, a temporary account created at Wikipedia will also work on Meta-Wiki and Commons. This is similar to the experience for registered accounts.

How is the information for a temporary account stored? How long does a temporary account last?
The temporary account will be tied to a cookie in the user's browser. As long as the cookie persists, the user will have access to the temporary account and all their edits will be attributed to the same temporary account. The user may change IP addresses, but the temporary account will not change as long as the cookie persists.

When the cookie is removed or automatically expires, the user will permanently lose access to the temporary account. The user will be granted a new temporary account with a different username for any subsequent edits.

Note: Temporary accounts holders will not be able to convert their accounts to permanent registered accounts. This means that when a temporary user decides to create a permanent registered account, their contributions, notifications, etc. will not carry through to their new account. This is because there is no way to verify that all edits of the temporary accounts are actually the users', especially when temp accounts are used on public computers.

How do I log in to my temporary account? What is the password?
You can not log in. There is no password. If you lose the cookie that records your temporary account name, the account can not be recovered. If you want to log in to another device, please create a permanent registered account. Creating a permanent registered account is quick and easy, and it does not require an e-mail address.

How long will the cookie for a temporary account last by default?
12 months.

Who can see the IP addresses used by temporary accounts?
IP addresses will be hidden from readers and most other contributors. The IP addresses will be available to stewards, admins and others who need it for patrolling, sock puppet investigations, or other work to protect the wikis.
