From the developer

Katsushi Kawamori's own description of Magic Login Mail or QR Code, lightly tidied.

Enter your email address, and send you an email with a magic link or QR Code to login without a password.

Login

  • Login with email address only.
  • Only registered users can login.
  • Password-less login from the magic link or QR code notified in the email.
  • shortcode : [magic_login]
  • action hook : do_action( 'magic_email_send', $emails | array, true | bool ) : To send the magic link simultaneously from the management account.
  • QR code login on the user’s administration screen.

Thanks

  • This plugin is a modified version of Passwordless Login.
  • The main changes are the addition of various filter hooks and the addition of the following action hooks.

Action hook

  • This is for sending bulk e-mails with a magic link for login to multiple accounts from the management screen.
  • When using this action hook, the URL of the page where the shortcode [magic_login] is placed should be specified in the filter hook ‘magic_login_mail_url’.
/** ==================================================
 * To send the magic link simultaneously from the management account.
 *
 * @param array  $emails  Multiple email addresses.
 * @param bool   true  Output notifications to the management screen immediately after sending.
 */
