login to wordpress using url with log and pwd

[ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. ]

Hi,

I’m new to wordpress. I installed wordPress 4.8 to my local ( downloaded from www.ads-software.com). from page https://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php I provide username and password I can login.

Usually login is a http requst. I looked at this login form, it is a post request. So I assembled the url like the following:
https://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php?log=testuser&pwd=test&wp-submit=Log+In&redirect_to=https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/profile.php&testcookie=1

It does not do the login, the page still stays at the login form page.
Does wordPress allow to login using url like this? Did I miss any parameter in the url? or does it mean I have to use other ways to do login using url?

Can anyone give me some help?

Thanks, Helen
