Description

No Need For Password lets users log in and register using a one-time password (OTP) sent to their email — no traditional passwords required.
– No passwords to remember.
– Fast, simple, and user-friendly authentication for WordPress.

This plugin is designed for modern websites that want:
– Better user experience
– Fewer failed logins
– Reduced password-related security risks

Users simply enter their email, receive a secure OTP, and log in instantly.

Perfect for:
– Blogs
– Membership sites
– WooCommerce stores
– SaaS-style WordPress websites

No external services. No third-party APIs. Everything runs inside WordPress.

🔐 Key Features

  • Passwordless login via email OTP
  • Automatic user registration for new emails
  • Secure OTP with expiry time
  • Login popup with clean UI
  • Logout link for logged-in users

  • Works with block themes like Twenty Twenty-Three
  • ACF support for user registration fields
  • AJAX-based (no page reloads)
  • Lightweight & fast
  • Developer-friendly and extensible
  • Compatible with modern block themes

🧱 Shortcodes

Use these shortcodes anywhere on your site:

Login button

[nnfp_login_button]

Login page container

[nnfp_login_form]

🎨 Theme Compatibility

This plugin works with:
– Classic themes
– Block themes (Full Site Editing)

ACF is optional — the plugin works perfectly without it.
