<p>Add Two-Factor Authentication, Passwordless Authentication and Account Validation to your WordPress website.</p>
<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>This plugin adds the following major features to WordPress:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>3 One-Time Password modes</strong>: Two-Factor Authentication, Passwordless Authentication and Account Validation.</li>
<li><strong>3 Authentication Gateways for OTP Verification Codes:</strong> WordPress Email, Twilio SMS, Alibaba Cloud SMS ; all with option to use a sandbox mode.</li>
<li><strong>Two-Factor Authentication:</strong> allow (or force) users to authenticate with a second factor on top of their password.</li>
<li><strong>Passwordless Authentication:</strong> allow users to login simply with their username, an identifier, and an OTP Verification Code (identifier depending on the Authentication Gateway – email or phone number supported with the default gateways).</li>
<li><strong>Account Validation:</strong> force users to validate their account by entering an OTP Verification Code at first login, on a set regular basis at login, or at each login.</li>
<li><strong>Synchronize OTP identifiers with existing data:</strong> wish to use Twilio SMS, but already have a phone number field saved in database? Perhaps with the “Billing Phone” in WooCommerce? Use this field by indicating its user meta key in the gateway settings (Note: duplicate identifiers will require users to choose a different one on update).</li>
<li><strong>Simple yet customizable appearance:</strong> forms used to request OTP Verification Codes use a neutral dedicated style compatible with most themes, with customizable logo and call-to-action colors.</li>
<li><strong>Activity Logs:</strong> when enabled, administrators can follow the activity of the enabled gateway. Critical messages regarding gateway malfunction are always logged.</li>
<li><strong>Customizable for developers:</strong> developers can add their own gateways or add custom One-Time Password modes using action and filter hooks, and more – see the <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/otp-authenticator" rel="nofollow ugc">developers documentation</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Integration-friendly:</strong> specific integration with Ultimate Member and WooCommerce is included by default ; developers can easily plug into OTP Authenticator with a multitude of functions, filter hooks and action hooks – see the <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/otp-authenticator" rel="nofollow ugc">developers documentation</a> – contributions to integrations are welcome.</li>
<li><strong>Unlimited features:</strong> there are no premium version feature restrictions shenanigans – OTP Authenticator is fully-featured right out of the box.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<p>OTP Authenticator is regularly updated, and bug reports are welcome, preferably on <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/otp-authenticator/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>, especially for advanced troubleshooting.</p>
<p>Each <strong>bug</strong> report will be addressed in a timely manner, but general inquiries and issues reported on the WordPress forum may take significantly longer to receive a response.</p>
<p><strong>Only issues occurring with included integrated plugins (or plugin features), core WordPress and default WordPress themes (incl. WooCommerce Storefront) will be considered without compensation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Troubleshooting involving 3rd-party plugins or themes will require compensation in any case, and will not be addressed on the WordPress support forum</strong>.</p>
<h3>Integrations</h3>
<p>Although OTP Authenticator is designed to work out of the box with most combinations of WordPress plugins and themes, there are some edge cases necessitating integration, with code included in the core files of OTP Authenticator executing under certain conditions.</p>
<p>Integrations added to core are limited to popular plugins and themes: any extra code specific to a handful of installations require a separate custom integration plugin not shared with the community (decision at the discretion of the OTP Authenticator plugin author).</p>
<p>If such need for plugin integration arises, website administrators may contact the author of OTP Authenticator to become a patron.</p>
<p><strong>All integrations are to be funded by plugin users, with downpayment and delivery payment, at the plugin author’s discretion, without exception</strong>.<br />
The patron in return may be credited with their name (or company name) and a link to a page of their choice in the plugin’s Changelog.</p>


OTP Authenticator

One-Time Password Authentication for WordPress

Denis Alemán

<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.
