About Magic Emails & Autologin URLs
From the official readme · v2.4.2Description
A new “Email Magic Link” button is added to the standard WordPress and WooCommerce login screens. If there is a user
account for the username filled out, they will receive an email with a link to log them in without a password.
All emails sent from WordPress will contain login codes in links pointing back to the website:
- Comment reply emails
- Abandoned cart emails
- Membership reminder emails
- etc.
No configuration is required, by default:
- Autologin URLs work for one week
- Emails to administrators are excluded
- Emails on exclusion shortlist are not modified
An API is available for developers to use autologin codes elsewhere in WordPress, e.g. push notifications, and to conditionally disable the plugin’s use. Code is published on GitHub, uses WordPress Plugin Boilerplate, conforms (mostly) to WordPress Coding Standards, and is unit & integration tested.
