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.

It’s a favorite
by rinustp·3 years ago
Found and installed this plugin today hoping to make logging in easier.
It works perfectly. My members are also very satisfied. And it has now also been tested with my theme, Mantra.
Definitely worth 5 stars. Thank you.
Use to create “subscriber” login
by Ownsale·3 years ago
Hi,
I’m looking for a solution that will allow visitors to use email & passwordless login in order to access certain content. NOT to give full admin access.
Can I use this plugin to create logins at a lower level than “Administrator”?
Thanks
Voluntary fork plugin is available
by skillsharejp·4 years ago
This was one of my favorite plugins for simplifying user logins. While it may not work on latest WP versions, a Japanese developer has forked and released 5.9.1 compatible version as Magic Login Mail.
Thanks to original developers for this wonderful solution.
Brilliant solution for password-free login

Whether for users with login problems or forgetability. Or for comfortable login.
An alternative, if too many hacker attacks disturb the login.
Fast and helpful support!
