How does it work? 🪄

Magic login uses a technique called “magic links”. The magic link is a unique link sent directly to your email inbox which allows you to authenticate.

Auto Login: Magic Login also supports auto-login links for outgoing emails. It’s useful when pending action from a user, such as reply a comment, complete the checkout, etc..

FAQ

What is passwordless authentication?: Passwordless authentication is an authentication method in which a user can log in to a computer system without entering (and remembering) a password.
Are the magic links secure?: Yes! In fact, we thought this is more secure than the regular login due to most of the users are using weak passwords. Since magic login generates a random token for a limited time frame it makes the links quite strong and secure.
When do login links expire?: It expires in 5 minutes by default. You can change TTL under the “Token Lifespan” on the settings page. Enter “0” to disable automatic expiration.
Why am I not getting login links?: Magic Login uses WordPress built-in mail functions. So, it depends on your configuration. We highly recommend to use an SMTP service for better email delivery.
How can I use a passwordless login form on any page?: You can use [magic_login_form] shortcode or block. Learn More.
Why are users redirected back to the page where they added the magic login form via shortcode?: This behavior occurs because the magic login form is designed to use the current page as the target redirection URL by default. It’s a way to ensure a smooth user experience by bringing users back to the page they started from.
However, if you wish to alter this behavior, you can easily do so by passing an empty redirect_to=”” parameter within the shortcode. Learn More.

I couldn’t be more thrilled with the Magic Login plugin for our WordPress site. It integrates seamlessly, making quick logins and registrations an absolute breeze. This plugin has truly enhanced the user experience on our site, streamlining the process and making it effortless for our visitors. A special shoutout to Mustafa, whose support has been nothing short of exceptional. He has promptly addressed all my questions and even assisted with specific tweaks to ensure everything works perfectly. His dedication and expertise have made a world of difference. Highly recommended for anyone looking to simplify their WordPress login and registration process. Magic Login is a game-changer!

Dan Harrison June 21, 2024

I asked a technical question from an API / function perspective, so that I could use this plugin with a bespoke application. Mustafa was friendly, understood what I needed immediately and gave me a very helpful reply that allowed me to complete my project using this plugin. Very grateful for a fast AND technical reply.

The magic login links are a hit among our audience. Our #1 UI suggestion has been either longer login times or an easier way to login. Social login is nice, but magic login links, especially those in email, really help for people who are on different devices. This increases sales and reduces password resets as we have seen on other sites. Moreover, the support has been top notch. Granted, I did purchase the commercial version of the plugin, but as I was noting in a support message, any developer who is willing to make sure updated 7g firewall settings don’t conflict with the free version of their plugin is deserving of my business for the commercial offering. Thank you again for a great plugin that solves a genuine issue in the WP/WC ecosystem.

Purchase Date: 1/26/24 First of all, the support response times from Handy Plugins is excellent, both pre-sales and post-purchase. He responded within an hour or two -even less than an hour in most cases- after each of my questions were submitted. It makes me wonder if this guy takes the time to sleep. The Magic Login plugin works flawlessly. I tested it by purchasing the basic single site license and bumping it around to a few sites with different security packages to make sure nothing would interfere with its performance. Today I upgraded to the unlimited sites license. There was no point in waiting longer to see if problems arise, this plugin is solid. I’ll be adding it to all my sites and recommending it to others to use on theirs. I’ll also check out other plugins available from the Handy Plugins website. If they’re something I can make use of I’ll definitely consider them first over similar plugins from other companies.
