Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Passwordless Login

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 Passwordless Login plugin your users will have one less password to worry about.

You can extend the auth cookie expiration to something like 1 month or 3 months (this can be changed by using the wpa_change_link_expiration filter). Also, you can offer Passwordless Login as an alternative login system and enforce stronger passwords on registration using Profile Builder plugin.
