Passwordless Login

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 99% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   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

   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.

   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!

   This is a very nice plugin that works as expected. No one should complain if they forgot their passwords. fill in your username or email and hit login. In few seconds you’ll receive an email with login link. It’s 2 factor authentication made simpler.
