Target the people who use Wordpress for marketing, but otherwise have an app. They might pay $5 for this, especially if they are separate business silos. As long as it is super simple to use, this could be a decent non-technical solution to a technical problem.

The challenge is once someone technical is called in, they will realize that this is trivial, so making it possible for non-technicals to easily use (even if just telling them where to paste the code) is essential.

But yes, I have certainly had this annoyance in the past.

This. I know of two businesses off the top of my head using WordPress (for the marketing site and customer portal) that I'm a paying customer for where I've struggled to find how to get to my account backend from their main site. For one of the businesses I've seen people ask in their FB group how to login (it's in the footer...)

Please sell this to them! (Assuming it works, I didn't look at it)

Great idea. Thanks!
