Magic Link Tagging — User Guide

What is it?

Magic Link Tagging is a dedicated tracking feature inside Logify's Activity Logs. When a user logs into your WordPress site without typing a password—using a one-time "Magic Link" sent to their email—Logify automatically flags the event and attaches a prominent MAGIC LINK badge directly to the log entry.

For every passwordless login, Logify records:

• Severity: Event classification badge (e.g., INFO).
• User & Role: The name, user ID, and assigned role of the account logging in (e.g., Abc Xyz (test) Administrator).
• Event & Action: Categorized as a User event with a login action.
• Description: Displays the exact account name, user ID, and the distinct MAGIC LINK badge right below it.
• Timestamp: The exact date and time the magic link login was completed.

Why is it helpful?

Passwordless login links offer a convenient way for team members and subscribers to access your dashboard. However, because magic links bypass standard password entry, it is essential to track when and how users log in using this method.

Logify Magic Link Tagging gives you complete authentication transparency:

• Instant Visual Badges: Easily distinguish between standard password logins and passwordless magic link logins at a glance.
• Enhanced Audit Security: Keep an accurate history of all passwordless login events to verify that magic links are only being used by authorized team members.
• Simple Log Filtering: Instantly isolate passwordless login events to review authentication patterns across your site.
