How Can I Make Magic Link The Default Login Method In WordPress?

Force Magic Link Login makes passwordless, email-based login the default way to access your website.

When enabled, the Magic Link form becomes the primary login method on your login screen, so returning users sign in by requesting a link instead of typing a password.

Why Use It?

This is useful when you want:

  • A passwordless-first login experience
  • Fewer password-related support requests
  • Faster access for returning users
  • A cleaner login journey on membership or customer sites

How To Enable

  1. Go to Magic Link -> Settings -> General.
  2. Enable Force Magic Link Login.
  3. Save changes.

How To Use

  1. Open the login page.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. Receive the Magic Link email.
  4. Click the link to access your account.
