Default Registration Enhancements
By default, when a user registers on a WordPress site, they are sent a password reset email which is used for account “activation”, but that also sends the user a URL that is for resetting a password, and even shows “Reset Password” on the page. This plugin fixes these problems by allow you to customize the activation email sent, adding custom permalink for activations, updating wording to match “activation” instead of reset password, and more … all for a better UX (User Experience).
See screenshots or video for examples of this.
WP Login Flow was intended to be completely bloat free, and integrate with the core of WordPress as much as possible. Any themes, plugins, or other code that uses the native WordPress functions and hooks for registration, lost password, etc, should be supported.
Features Coming Soon
- Login Limiter based on Limit Login Attempts
- Bulk remove unactivated accounts

WP Login Flow History
I originally created WP Login Flow back in 2014 to solve what I considered to be a huge issue.. ). My original implementation of this plugin added the exact feature that is now default in WordPress, by using the Reset Password handling to add “Activation” for new user registration.
After this was added to core I no longer had a need for this plugin, but in 2019 I decided to take the time to fully revamp the plugin, integrate with the latest versions of WordPress, and add additional features.
