Login by Auth0 provides improved username/password login, Passwordless login, Social login and Single Sign On for all your sites.
This plugin replaces standard WordPress login forms with one powered by Auth0 that enables:
IMPORTANT: By using this plugin you are delegating the site authentication and profile handling to Auth0. That means that you won’t be using the WordPress database to authenticate users and the default WordPress login forms will be replaced.
Please see our How It Works page for more information on how Auth0 authenticates and manages your users.
Auth0 allows multiple authentication providers. You can have social providers like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and more, a database of users and passwords (just like WordPress but hosted in Auth0), or you can use an Enterprise directory like Active Directory, LDAP, Office365, Google Apps, or SAML. All those authentication providers might give you an email and a flag indicating whether the email was verified or not. We use that email (only if it is verified) to associate a previous existing user with the one coming from Auth0.
If the email was not verified and there is an account with that email in WordPress, the user will be presented with a page saying that the email was not verified and a link to “Re-send the verification email.” For either scenario, you can choose whether it is mandatory that the user has a verified email or not in the plugin settings.
Please note: In order for a user to log in using Auth0, they will need to sign up via the Auth0 login form (or have an account created for them in Auth0). Once signup is complete, their Auth0 user will be automatically associated with their WordPress user.
You can enable Auth0 as a WordPress widget in order to show it in a sidebar. The widget inherits the main plugin settings but can be overridden with its own settings in the widget form. Note: this form will not display for logged-in users.
Also, you can use the Auth0 widget as a shortcode in your editor. Just add the following to use the global settings:
[auth0]
Like widgets, shortcode login forms will use the settings of the plugin. It can be customized by adding the following attributes:
icon_url
– A direct URL to an image used at the top of the login formform_title
– Text to appear at the top of the login formgravatar
– Display the user’s Gravatar; set to 1
for yesredirect_to
– A direct URL to use after successful logindict
– Valid JSON to override form text (see options here)extra_conf
– Valid JSON to override Lock configuration (see options here)show_as_modal
– Display a button that triggers the login form in a modal; set to 1
for yesmodal_trigger_name
– Button text to display when using a modalExample:
[auth0 show_as_modal="1" modal_trigger_name="Login button: This text is configurable!"]
Note: this form will not display for logged-in users.
This plugin requires a free or paid Auth0 account.
The Auth0 login form is called Lock and it’s open source on GitHub. You can style the form like any of your site components by enqueuing a stylesheet in your theme. Use the login_enqueue_scripts
hook to style the form on wp-login.php, wp_enqueue_scripts
to style widgets and shortcodes, or both to affect the form in all locations.
The Auth0 plugin transparently handles login information for your WordPress site and the plugins you use, so that it looks like any other login. User profile data changes in WordPress are not currently sent to Auth0 but changes to the Auth0 user account are stored in WordPress user meta (under the key auth0_obj
prefixed with $wpdb->prefix
).
Yes, either by allowing the WordPress login form to be displayed or through migrating existing users. See the Technical Notes section above.
Please see our complete list of supported social and enterprise authentication providers.
Use the “Extra Settings” field on the plugin settings’ Advanced tab to add a JSON object with all additional configurations. For more information on what else can be configured, see the documentation.
Yes, this plugin will override the default WooCommerce login forms with the Auth0 login form.
All is not lost!
