Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Keyless Auth - Login without Passwords
Yes. The token is created using wp_hash and it's based on the user id, the current time and the salt in wp-config.php
The token expires after 10 minutes and can only be used once. If people have access to that link it's supposed they have access to your email, in which case it's as safe as the default login, since they could reset their passwords.
Weak passwords are used every day by users. There are also people who use the same password across various services and websites. By using the Keyless Auth plugin your users will have one less password to worry about.
Go to Keyless Auth > Templates in your WordPress admin. You can choose from predefined templates (German or English) or create your own custom HTML template using the built-in WYSIWYG editor with full HTML and CSS support.
Yes! In the settings page, you can customize button colors, button hover colors, and link colors. Supports multiple color formats including hex (#007bff), RGB (rgb(0,123,255)), HSL (hsl(211,100%,50%)), and HSLA colors. You can use either color pickers or enter color codes manually.
Absolutely! The custom template editor includes a full WYSIWYG editor with HTML support. You can create rich email templates with custom styling, different font sizes, colors, tables, and more. Switch between visual and HTML editing modes as needed.
Go to Keyless Auth > SMTP in your WordPress admin. You can configure SMTP settings for providers like Gmail, Outlook, Mailgun, SendGrid, and more. The plugin includes automatic port configuration for SSL/TLS, connection testing, and debug tools to ensure your emails are delivered reliably.
Yes! The Mail Logs feature allows you to monitor all emails sent from your WordPress site. You can view complete email history with timestamps, recipients, subjects, and even preview the full email content. This is perfect for troubleshooting delivery issues and monitoring your site's email activity.
Absolutely! In the SMTP settings, you can enable "Force From Name" and set a custom sender name like "Your Website Name" instead of just showing the email address. This makes emails look more professional and branded. The feature includes a toggle control so you can easily enable or disable it.
Yes! Version 2.0.4 introduces secure credential storage options. You can choose to store SMTP username and password in wp-config.php instead of the database. This is more secure as wp-config.php is typically outside the web root. Simply add these constants to your wp-config.php: define('CHRMRTNS_PA_SMTP_USERNAME', 'your-email@example.com'); define('CHRMRTNS_PA_SMTP_PASSWORD', 'your-smtp-password'); Then select "Store in wp-config.php" in the SMTP settings.
