Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Magic Link – Secure one click passwordless login version 2.3.0 as active, updated 21d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Overview

About this plugin

Say goodbye to forgotten passwords. Enable a secure, passwordless login experience for your WordPress site using email, SMS, or QR code magic links.

Magic Link makes traditional passwords a thing of the past. Instead of logging in with a username and password, users can log in simply by clicking a secure link sent to their email or phone. It’s quick, safe, and incredibly user-friendly.

Perfect for membership sites, WooCommerce stores, community forums, or any site that wants to simplify user authentication.
