Overview

This module provides a method to login via a magic link. For this it uses the Administration and email connector modules. But if you want you may adjust this to your own liking.

A user provides their username or email and receives an email with a link to actually login. Removing the need for a password.

The URL is only active for a set duration (by default 15 minutes), and the UUID + Key with validating data in it are both encrypted.

As cherry on top the module comes with functionality to deactivate users once the logoff and activate them while they login, in case you want to limit the active users.
