Description
WP Magic Link Login is a WordPress plugin that enables passwordless sign-in by sending users a secure login link to their email address.

This solves common password-related risks such as brute-force attempts and stolen credentials.
By fitting into the WordPress authentication flow, it streamlines access while keeping user accounts protected with time-limited links. With fast setup and configurable expiration time, you can reduce login friction without changing how your site manages WordPress users.
