Beskrywing
Passwordless Login is a modern way of loggin into your WordPress site without the use of a password.
Join the discussion here: https://www.cozmoslabs.com/31550-wordpress-passwordless-login/
This is how it works:
- Instead of asking users for a password when they try to log in to your website, we simply ask them for their username or email
- The plugin creates a temporary authorization token and saves it in a WordPress transient that expires after 10 minutes
- Then we send the user an email with a link and the token
- The user clicks the link and sends the authorization code to your server
- The plugin then checks if the code is valid and creates the log in WordPress cookie, successfully authenticating the user.
You can use the shortcode [passwordless-login] in a page or widget.
If you’re looking to create front-end user registration and profile forms we recommend Profile Builder.
NOTE:
Passwordless Authentication dose not replace the default login functionality in WordPress.

Installation

Kwel-vrae
-
Is this secure?
-
Yes. The token is created using wp_hash and it’s based on the user id, the current time and the salt in wp-config.php
-
Couldn’t anyone login if they have that link?
-
The token expires after 10 minutes and can only be used once. If people have access to that link it’s supposed they have access to your email, in which case it’s as safe as the default login, since they could reset their passwords.
-
Isn’t it more complicated they just entering a password?
-
Weak passwords are used every day by users. There are also people who use the same password across various services and websites. By using the Passwordless Login plugin your users will have one less password to worry about.
-
But what if my users don’t want to login every time via their email?
-
You can extend the auth cookie expiration to something like 1 month or 3 months (this can be changed by using the wpa_change_link_expiration filter). Also, you can offer Passwordless Login as an alternative login system and enforce stronger passwords on registration using Profile Builder plugin.

I can’t find a question similar to my issue; Where can I find support?
