Riverbox Passwordless Login

Riverbox Passwordless Login is a plugin designed for WordPress sites that enables users to authenticate without traditional passwords. Instead, it offers several modern login methods aimed at reducing friction and improving security for site access. The plugin allows users to sign in using email one-time codes, magic links sent by email, passkeys utilizing WebAuthn (such as fingerprint, face, or security key authentication), or phone-based one-time codes via SMS. New visitors are able to create accounts automatically through these passwordless methods.

Among its features, Riverbox Passwordless Login provides an account management page where users can manage their devices. The plugin supports classic password-based login as an optional method, allowing it to coexist with passwordless options. For SMS-based authentication, it uses the site owner's own HTTP SMS gateway with customizable placeholder templates for recipient and message content. The WebAuthn authentication process is handled and verified on the site's own server, with no reliance on external services for this functionality.

Riverbox Passwordless Login is intended for WordPress administrators and site owners who want to offer users alternative, password-free ways to access their accounts. By supporting multiple authentication methods, it addresses the need for both convenience and enhanced security on WordPress sites. The plugin is delivered as a WordPress extension, and all described features are managed within the WordPress environment.
