BerryPress

<p>LoginBerry bundles <strong>account verification</strong>, <strong>two-factor authentication (2FA)</strong>, <strong>passwordless login</strong>, and <strong>login logs</strong>. Each feature can be enabled or disabled independently. Outgoing codes are delivered by <strong>email</strong>.</p>
<p>The plugin works for standard WordPress sites. When WooCommerce is active, additional customer- and order-related options are available (for example 2FA on the My Account login form and optional account activation tied to orders).</p>
<h4>User-facing behavior (when features are enabled)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Account verification:</strong> After registration, the user signs in and completes activation on the configured activation page using a six-digit code sent by email.</li>
<li><strong>Two-factor authentication:</strong> After a successful username and password, the user enters a second code sent by email. Per-role modes are Required, Optional, or Disabled.</li>
<li><strong>Passwordless login:</strong> On <code>wp-login.php</code>, eligible roles may request a one-time email code instead of entering a password.</li>
<li><strong>Login logs:</strong> Success and failure records are listed in the WordPress admin.</li>
</ul>
<p>Authentication codes are email-based; end users do not install a separate authenticator app for the flows described here.</p>
<h4>Account verification</h4>
<ul>
<li>New accounts receive a six-digit activation code by email.</li>
<li>After fifteen failed activation attempts, the account is locked until an administrator intervenes.</li>
<li>Administrators can resend codes, activate accounts manually, and unlock accounts from <strong>Users <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> All Users</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Two-factor authentication (2FA)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Per-role setting: Required, Optional, or Disabled.</li>
<li>Optional mode allows users to enable 2FA from the profile when permitted by role.</li>
<li>Supported on <code>wp-login.php</code> and on the WooCommerce <strong>My Account</strong> login form.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Passwordless login</h4>
<p>Let users log in without a password – just enter a username or email and receive a one-time login code. Improves user experience while maintaining strong security through email verification.</p>
<ul>
<li>Toggle between password and passwordless login on wp-login.php</li>
<li>One-time email codes on <code>wp-login.php</code>, controlled per role.</li>
<li>When both passwordless login and 2FA are enabled for the same role, the passwordless flow does not require a separate 2FA step (email possession is already verified).</li>
</ul>
<h4>WooCommerce</h4>
<ul>
<li>Optional automatic account activation when an WooCommerce order is created.</li>
<li>Optional restriction so that only <strong>paid</strong> orders trigger activation.</li>
<li>Integration points include classic checkout, block checkout (Store API), and paid-order completion hooks, as implemented in the plugin.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Login logs</h4>
<p>Monitor all login activity on your site. Essential for detecting suspicious behavior and meeting security compliance requirements for e-commerce stores.</p>
<ul>
<li>Records successful and failed login attempts</li>
<li>Logs username, email, IP address, and timestamp</li>
<li>View all logs in a dedicated admin page with sortable columns</li>
<li>Identify patterns of brute force attacks and suspicious login activity</li>
<li>Audit trail for security compliance and fraud investigation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Admin interface</h4>
<ul>
<li>Centralized settings under <strong>BerryPress <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> LoginBerry</strong>, with separate screens per feature.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email templates</h4>
<p>HTML email templates for activation, 2FA, and passwordless login ship in the plugin <code>templates/</code> directory. To override, copy the desired template into the active theme or child theme under <code>templates/loginberry/</code> (see each template file header for the exact path).</p>
<h4>Email delivery</h4>
<p>Reliable outbound email is required for codes to arrive. Typical setups use the hosting provider’s mail relay, a transactional email API (for example Brevo, Mailchimp Transactional / Mandrill, Postmark, SendGrid, Amazon SES), or a WordPress plugin that sends mail via SMTP or a provider API. Test delivery with a real signup or code request before relying on the feature in production.</p>
<h4>Typical use cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Reducing unwanted or automated registrations and limiting abuse of disposable email addresses.</li>
<li>Verifying that a customer or member controls the email address on file.</li>
<li>Adding a second factor after password entry for selected roles.</li>
<li>Reviewing login success and failure history in the admin.</li>
<li>WooCommerce: applying optional post-order account activation, including a paid-order-only mode where configured.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Roadmap</h4>
<p>LoginBerry is a brand new plugin and we are improving it quickly based on real user feedback. If you have ideas, feature requests, or run into a theme-specific styling issue, we would love to hear from you.</p>
<p>Planned work includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Configurable failed-attempt limits (instead of the fixed fifteen for activation lockout)</li>
<li>Track last login time for each user</li>
<li>Custom activation page URL</li>
<li>Custom redirect URL after successful verification</li>
<li>Rate limiting on code verification attempts</li>
<li>Social login options</li>
<li>Improved styling flexibility and theme compatibility</li>
</ul>
<p>Feedback and compatibility reports are welcome via the plugin support channels. New features are prioritized based on user feedback.</p>

<p>Login Links allows you to create temporary, password-less access links for existing users or guest accounts. The links can be configured to expire either after a certain period of time or after a set number of successful logins.</p>
<h3>How Login Link Works</h3>
<p>A login link is a special link that, when clicked, automatically logs the user in. They don’t need an account. The login occurs either under an existing account or under a temporary account created specifically for this link. The link has an expiration date, after which it is automatically deleted.</p>
<h3>Provide Temporary Access</h3>
<p>Create a login link with a specific role for support teams, clients, developers, or guest users who need temporary access to the site, and email it directly to them. They don’t need to create an account or come up with a password, and you won’t have to worry about deleting their account later.</p>
<h3>Passwordless Access for Users</h3>
<p>Allow already registered users to log in without a password. Users request a one-time login link by entering the email they used during registration, and the link is sent to that email.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h3>Temporary Login Links</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create an unlimited number of temporary login links.</li>
<li>Choose to log in as an existing user or as a temporary user, which will automatically create a temporary account attached to the link.</li>
<li>Delete and manage created links through a table interface, allowing you to view and remove links as needed.</li>
<li>Set expiration limits for each login link based on time or number of logins.</li>
<li>Expiration can be based on the number of logins, time, or a combination of both, whichever occurs first.</li>
<li>Send an email invitation with a login link.</li>
<li>Customize the email’s body and subject text.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Password-less Access</h3>
<ul>
<li>Allow password-less access for your users.</li>
<li>Custom login form via shortcode for password-less access.</li>
<li>Automatic deletion of expired links.</li>
<li>Automatic generation of a temporary account with a designated role upon link creation.</li>
<li>Optional password-less access through the standard WordPress login form.</li>
<li>Ability to disallow password-based access.</li>
</ul>


Login Links – Passwordless Login, Temporary Access Links & Custom Login Form


i tried two other plugins and they were limited to creating links for new users only. This worked great for my use case of sending creds to a client I had already created an account for. 



i think the popup modal with the new link might need some style adjustments on mobile devices. It was tricky to copy the entire link. A copy button would be a help... It might have been there just couldn't see the full width of the modal on my phone.


creates links for existing users

Create secure self-expiring login links for temporary access and guest users, and enable passwordless login for registered ones.
