How Can I Create Automatic Login Links For Faster Account Access?

This is a Pro feature. Magic Link Pro can automatically append a fresh, secure login link to your site's outgoing WordPress emails, so recipients can click straight through to their account without typing a password.

You can also place the login link exactly where you want it using the {magic-link} merge tag. See Insert a Magic Link into your emails.

How It Works

  1. Enable the option to append a magic link to outgoing emails, or add the {magic-link} merge tag to your email content.
  2. When WordPress sends an email, the plugin generates a fresh Magic Link for the recipient.
  3. The recipient clicks the link and is logged in — no username or password required.

Each generated link follows your Token Lifespan and Token Validity settings, so it expires like any other Magic Link. See Magic Link expiry settings.
