About this tool.
Elevation Magic Link Login allows your users to sign in without remembering a password. By simply entering their username or email address, they receive a secure, time-sensitive link via email that logs them in instantly.
This plugin is built with security as a priority, utilizing WordPress best practices such as nonces, input sanitization, output escaping, hashed tokens, and HMAC signatures to ensure your site and users remain protected.
Features

New: Toggle-based UI that hides the password field when requesting a link for a cleaner experience.

Tokens are hashed before storage for maximum security.
Cross-device support: Uses stateless HMAC signatures to validate links even if opened on a different device than requested.
One-time use links that expire after 15 minutes (filterable).
No-password fallback for users who forget their credentials.
Lightweight and developer-friendly.
Filterable redirect URL after successful login.
Getting started.

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Your login page will now display the Magic Link button.
Frequently asked questions.
How long do links stay valid?
By default, links expire after 15 minutes. Developers can change this using the emll_token_expiration filter.
Does this replace the standard password login?
No, it adds a secondary option. Users can still log in using their standard username and password.
How can I change the redirect URL?
You can use the emll_login_redirect filter in your theme’s functions.php. Example: add_filter(’emll_login_redirect’, function($url, $user) { return home_url(‘/welcome’); }, 10, 2);
